1. Open a web browser on another PC within your local network.
2. Navigate to:

   https://server-edgego.local/
   

Tip: For first-time setup, we recommend using the host machine where EdgeGO is installed for easier access and troubleshooting.

Troubleshooting: The domain name server-edgego.local requires mDNS support on your network. If you cannot connect, try pinging server-edgego.local from the host machine to find the IP address, then use that IP address in your browser instead.

Security Note: EdgeGO uses a self-signed certificate by default. You’ll need to proceed through your browser’s security warning to access the interface. This is expected behavior and doesn’t indicate a security problem.

   • Username: admin@adlinktech.com

   • Important: The Recovery Key can only be set once, so please make sure to remember it
   • Enter and confirm your Recovery Key to proceed

5. Upon first login, you’ll be prompted to set up a Recovery Key:
