DCDigital Web Console

How to connect

If your DCHDMI is already connected to your local WiFi network:

1. Open the OSD and go to WiFi Setup.
2. Make sure it says [Connected] instead of [Access point] on the screen.

3. Press Y to reveal the Web login password. You can skip that if you set a password in the Web console’s setup.
4. Use a browser of your choice and enter the IP address shown next to IP address in the browsers address bar. If you are using macOS or Linux with a running avahi daemon or Windows with iTunes installed, you can also use DCHDMI’s zeroconf-Hostname (default: dc-firmware-manager.local)
5. A login window should open. Enter Web login username and Web login password.
6. A command prompt should be displayed.

How to update the Firmware from the web console

This assumes your DCHDMI is connected to a WiFi network.

1. Connect to the web console.
2. Optional: use check to see, if a new firmware is available.
3. download new firmware
4. flash new firmware
5. reset DCHDMI to (re-)start with the new firmware.
