4. Check the IP address of LiveShell X and access “http://(IP address):11250”.
5. When basic authentication is enabled, the user name will be “LSXTC” and the password will be the six digit number you set (default is “000000”).

How to use TinyCon (after initial setup)

1. Bring the unit online (you can also use TinyCon in local mode).
2. Check the IP address of LiveShell X and access “http://(IP address):11250”.
