2. Software Controller

• As long as you have run the controller, you will find the Omada icon appears in the taskbar. If there is an arrow, you may click it and check if there is the Omada icon, as shown below.

Click the Omada icon, then “Launch a Browser to Manage the Network”, the controller page will be opened automatically.

• If there is no Omada icon on the taskbar, it is most likely that the controller is not running, please double-click the icon on the Desktop or Start menu to launch it. Normally, the controller page will be opened once the initialization is finished.

• If you find “Initialization failed” like below, you may click X in the upper right corner to exit the controller; wait for 1 minute, then run it again.

• If “Initialization failed” error is still, you may open a browser, and input “localhost:8088” or “localhost:8043” to the address bar. If the controller page is not available with both of these two addresses, please restart Windows and try to run the controller again.
