Setup Wizard

After installing Syncrify on your machine, open up your favorite web browser and enter the following URL in order to connect to the Syncrify web console:

You should see the following message:

Clicking the next button will prompt you to create an admin password. Please note that admin is a special user in Syncrify. See Admin, Users, & Profiles for more information. Additionally, check out Syncrify Server Security Configuration for information on how to change your password after the initial setup.

By default, the Restrict admin access to localhost checkbox is selected. This restricts the admin user to connect to Syncrify only via the local machine. For added security, when this box is checked, no one can connect using the admin account from other machines even if they know the password. If you want to allow administrators to access Syncrify Server from other machines, uncheck this checkbox.

The next screen will ask you to submit the Administrator's email address in order to receive important notifications regarding your installation of Syncrify.

The Setup Wizard automatically detects the Outgoing SMTP Server in your network. If you wish to specify a different email configuration, feel free to change the provided values.

Syncrify's Setup Wizard also detects and automatically configures your local and network Firewall. (Note: Network router is only configured if UPnP is enabled.)

Once you have submitted this information, your Syncrify Server setup is complete and you are ready to connect to the admin web console.

Syncrify Server has a web-based interface and can be accessed by typing the following into your favorite web browser:

• http://localhost:5800 (this assumes you are using the browser on the same machine where Syncrify is installed.)
• http://192.168.1.50:5800 (this assumes Syncrify is running on a machine that has 192.168.1.50 as its IP address and you are connecting from a different computer.)

This URL will take you to the main login screen (as shown below):

Once the admin credentials have been submitted, you will be taken directly to the Home page of the Admin Console.

Here is a quick look at the admin web console interface. (See Syncrify Client User Interface for a more detailed view of the admin Home Screen.)

To start utilizing Syncrify Server, you first need to add users.
