# Accessing the console

From your computer (locally)

  Browse `http://127.0.0.1:<console port>`, `http://[::1]:<console port>`, or `http://localhost:<console port>`.

From any computer or device connected to the network

  Browse `http://<your host name>:<console port>`. Note that by default, only the local access to the console is allowed so that only the computer where Abyss Web Server is installed (which IPv4 address is `127.0.0.1` and IPv6 address is `::1`) and computers connected to your LAN (which IPv4 addresses range from `192.168.0.1` to `192.168.255.254`, from `172.16.0.1` to `172.31.255.254`, and from `10.0.0.1` to `10.255.255.254`) are able to browse the console. Remote access from other computers is disabled by default. To enable it, please read "Configuring the console IP Address Control".

`<console port>` is printed on the web server's window . It is 9999 by default.

> Note: Starting from Abyss Web Server version 2.11, the console interface features a responsive design which allows it to offer a user experience carefully adapted to the device you are using to access it, be it a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop or a desktop computer.
