Question
What is the device's default hostname? How can I access the configuration web-interface of the myQA Daily?
Answer
By default, the hostname of myQA Daily device is “myqadaily-[S/N]”.
The device serial number (S/N) is a 5-digit number and can be found on the device information label on bottom of the device.
This label also contains two URLs for initial configuration
http://myqadaily-[S/N].local/
http://169.254.22.11/
Note:
Devices delivered before July 2020, with serial numbers below 30522, might have a wrong IP address written on the device label. Please use http://169.254.22.11/ instead.
Procedure to log in to the myQA Daily configuration web-interface
Connect the myQA Daily device to the PC with an Ethernet cable.
Switch the device on and wait until the power button LED lights green.
Press briefly (< 1 s) the Config button on the device. The Activity LED starts to blink.
There are three options to open configuration web interface with your browser on the PC connected to the myQA Daily:
- via URL http://myqadaily-[s/n].local/ ([s/n] to be replaced by the device serial number)
- via URL http://169.254.22.11/ (valid if the device is connected to the PC with a direct cable connection or if no DHCP server exists on the local network)
- or via Windows Explorer
- Click to expand the Network browser, and then look for the device hostname
- Double-click the device name. - The myQA Daily device configuration web-interface opens: Enter username, “admin”, password, (default: “admin”), and click LOGIN. The Device Info page opens.
Important Notes:
- If the device name cannot be found, check whether the Windows Network Discovery is enabled.
- If the device is connected to a network without a DHCP-Server, no static IP-Address is configured. A link-local address (LLADR) from the 169.254.xx.yy Pool is used (Subnetmask 255.255.0.0). The first address that is tried is 169.254.22.11.
