Currently, Catalogic DPX offers access either through the web (HTML5-based) interface from your browser or through the desktop (Java-based) application requiring a Java environment installed on the machine you are accessing the Catalogic DPX from. The desktop application is older and will be soon deprecated. The web interface is continuously developed and currently supports all typical Catalogic DPX functionalities, as well as some new features that will never be available using the desktop interface.
You may log in to the DPX Master Server through either of the user interfaces, as described below.
To launch the Catalogic DPX Master Server web interface, do the following:
Open a web browser on a machine with access to the same network the Master Server has been deployed in.
Type the Master Server IP address into the web browser’s address bar and press Enter.
In the login screen, enter the username and password for the Catalogic DPX Master Server. The default login credentials are:
login
sysadmin
password
sysadmin
Click the Login button. The DPX Master Server Dashboard will appear.
When logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to change the password. Your new password must:
contain from 6 to 48 characters,
contain at least 1 number and 1 letter,
not contain your username or the keyword admin.
After changing the password, you won’t need to log in again; you will be taken to the DPX dashboard.
If you are launching the desktop interface for the first time, select Run the DPX Java User Interface. This will start the download of the dpx.jnlp file which is used to launch the desktop interface app. If you already have the file downloaded, proceed to step 2.
Run the dpx.jnlp file. It is an executable file, so for security reasons, you may be prompted whether you still want to launch it. Select OK.
Restrictions. In some versions of Java, the application might be blocked by Java Security. In such case, follow the Java environment provider’s instructions to change the security settings or add the application to the exceptions list.
In the Connect to DPX window, enter the server name or IP address (you can also select it from the list, if you have logged into the server in the past), then provide the username and password for the Catalogic DPX Master Server.
The default login credentials are:
login
sysadmin
password
sysadmin
Click the Login button. The DPX desktop dashboard will appear.
To launch the Catalogic DPX Master Server desktop interface, you need to have a Java environment installed on your machine. We recommend downloading the to open the .jnlp file (see below).
