Launching the Omnia XII Web UI and Logging In

Once you have configured the Omnia XII network connection, you can launch the Omnia XII web UI on a computer and log in to access remote controls.

For initial remote control, an internet connection is not required. You can launch the Omnia XII web UI when your computer or laptop are plugged into the same local network switcher, router, or studio environment as the Omnia XII.

If you are launching the web UI with no internet connection, you will create a local account to access the web UI using that account. If internet access is available, you will instead use a TelosID+ account to access the web UI.
