1. Connect the Compass appliance to where it has internet on it (set DNS as well) and the web UI can be accessed. It is recommended to use the front management port (IP address is 10.5.1.30/24) for connection to the appliance and to use one of the back 4 interfaces for internet connection ***NOTE: Be careful not to plug one of the back 4 ports into a Power over Ethernet (PoE) source

  2. Log into the Compass web UI by entering the IP address and select the cog wheel on the top right of the screen → Device
