Open up a web browser and browse to the web interface landing page. If you are on the same PC as you have installed DISE Server, type in "localhost". Otherwise, type in the IP address of the server. You will see the login screen where you can input your username and password. If this is the first time since installation, enter the admin credentials supplied during installation.

  • Run the installer on the player PC. The installer will come pre-configured with the settings to connect to DISE Server.
  • When you have run the player installer on a PC, go back to the player details.
  • Notice that now, under Hardware there will be a name filled in (generally the player computer name or MAC address). This indicates that it has successfully been associated with the PC.
