Introduction

This article is a complete reference to the Swivel Core Administration Web Console. This page lists all the top-level menus, and each menu has its own page, referenced from this page, with the exception of a few that can be summarized within this page.

Logging In

To log into the Swivel Web Console, enter the following URL into a web browser:

https://<swivel_server>:8080/sentry

Here, <swivel_server> is the IP address or host name of the Swivel appliance.

You should be presented with the following login screen:

Enter the username of an administrator. The shipped application comes with a user named admin. Click on Start Session and a TURing image will be displayed.

You now need to enter your one-time code based on the TURing image shown. The default PIN for the admin user is 1234, so enter the first 4 digits of the TURing string - in this case 5034.

If this is the first time you have run the web console, you will be presented with the End-User Licence Agreement.

Swivel Core EULA V4.png

You should read this, and assuming you accept it, click on "Accept EULA" to continue.

You will now be presented with the Status page.

Save Configuration

This option downloads the current server configuration as an XML file, which can be used to restore the configuration in case of data loss. Note that the Swivel appliance takes daily backups, which includes the configuration.
