=== Accessing Admin Interface ===
Cumulus 1 was an all in one application, it both read the data from the weather station and provided the user interface for you to see the derived data and change the settings. MX is different, it consists of a stand-alone 'engine' which performs the reading and logging of data, uploading to a web site etc. This 'engine' is a command-line/terminal/console application which has no user interface. The separate admin interface is provided by virtue of the engine acting as a web server.
When you successfully start MX, the engine is running until it is terminated. You can view the admin interface by typing the URL of the built-in web server into your browser, either on the same machine, or on a separate machine sharing the same local network. The default URL ''if the browser is on the same machine as MX'' is '''http://localhost:8998/'''.
