# Connect to the AltoCommand server

To connect to either the cloud-based or on-prem AltoCommand server:

1. In the address bar of a web browser, type the URL provided in the email you received from Altowav.
2. A warning message may indicate that the self-signed certificate used by AltoCommand is not recognized by the browser. Instructions to clear the message vary depending on the browser. For example, in Chrome: 
     1. Click **Advanced**.
     2. Click **Proceed to…**
3. The AltoCommand server's web interface will open with the login dialog displayed:
   
   ![AltoCommand login](https://support.altowav.com/hs-fs/hubfs/kb-images/altocommand/login_49b288d7.png?width=218&height=243&name=login_49b288d7.png)
   
   The default username is **admin**
   
   The default password is **admin**

After logging into the AltoCommand WebUI:

- If the instance of AltoCommand has not been given a name, or if no devices have been accepted on the server, the web interface will open to the **Settings** \> **Site Devices** page. 
    - For information about naming the AltoCommand instance, see [Configure the name of the AltoCommand](https://support.altowav.com/configure-the-name-of-the-altocommand-server.html?hsLang=en-us).
    - For information about accepting devices on the server, see [Configure devices](https://support.altowav.com/configure-devices-to-connect-to-the-altocommand-server.html?hsLang=en-us).
- Otherwise, the WebUI opens to the **[Dashboard](https://support.altowav.com/dashboard.html?hsLang=en-us)**.
