→Settings Configuration for MX
|
# If you start Cumulus MX without a configuration file, and you have a screen attached so you can see the output from the engine, it will show this: [[File:engineoutput.png|800px|center]]
# As you can see, it is running, but it does not know what station type, so it cannot connect to it, and will not do anything more.
#Open the [[MX Administrative Interface|admin interface]] (either type in http://localhost:8998/ or http://IP Address of your CumulusMX computer:8998/ in your browser of choice), and from the Dashboard interface select Settings and then from the dropdown Config Wizard: [[File:dashboardwiz.jpg|800px|center]] Note this easier than re-typing everything plus "wizard.html" in the URL box of your browser.
#The following screen will open [[File:wizard1.jpg|800px|center]]
#*This is the First Time Setup Wizard which will lead you through the 6 steps that are the minimum requirements to get station up and running with CumulusMX. There is a Next button at the bottom of the page that will take you through these steps. However, the Next button will allow you to move on even though some fields have not been completed. This is not a good idea, however, as CumulusMX will not function correctly if you do not enter these fields so DO NOT click on Next until all the fields on a Wizard page are completed. This is especially true of the Latitude and Longitude settings and the Unit settings. Please make sure that the Unit settings are what you want to use as once set they CANNOT be changed without causing major problems.
