Further Actions with DPX Client

Once installed and properly configured, the DPX Client does not require any further actions, such as logging in. If you have added your DPX Client as a node to the DPX Master Server during the installation process, you are ready to create your first backup job. If you do not have any client nodes added to your DPX Master Server yet, you can do it through the DPX web interface (recommended) or DPX desktop interface.

To launch the Master Server web (HTML5-based) interface, do the following:

  1. Open your web browser and go to your Master Server’s IP address.

  2. In the login box, enter the username and password for the Catalogic DPX Master Server.

Note. Default credentials are username: sysadmin, password: sysadmin. You will be prompted to change the password upon the first login.

  1. Click the Login button. The DPX Master Server Dashboard will appear.

To launch the Master Server desktop (java-based) interface, do the following:

  1. Ensure you have a Java environment on your computer to be able to run .jnlp files. If not, download Java or Open Web Start (recommended) and install the environment on your machine, following the provider’s instructions.

Restrictions. While it is technically possible to run the desktop interface on Linux, we recommend using Windows, as Linux distributions are not officially supported.

  1. Open your web browser and go to your Master Server’s IP address.

  2. At the bottom of the login box, click Run the DPX Java User Interface. This will download the dpx.jnlp file.

  1. Run the downloaded dpx.jnlp file. The Connect to DPX dialog box will appear:

  1. Make sure the Server Name or IP of your master server is correct, then provide the master server credentials to log in. The Catalogic DPX desktop interface opens.

From here, you have access to most Catalogic DPX functionalities, as described further.
