I can't connect to the ctrl engine web interface

Ctrl Engine hosts a web interface on the local network on port 3000, that that can be accessed by all devices connected to Engine over the local network.

  • Within Ctrl Designer open the Manage Engines view.
  • Select the Engine you want to view the web interface of.
  • Press "Open Admin UI".

Method two (Direct IP address entry)​

Alternitively, navigate to the Ctrl Engine web interface from any computer on the local network, open a web browser window and navigate to:

https://<IP_Address>:3000

Where <IP_Address> is the network address of the computer running Ctrl Engine. (i.e. 192.168.1.10)

https://192.168.1.10:3000

  • Connected to the same network as your Ctrl Engine.

  • Has a unique IP address.
  • That you are using port 3000.
