Follow the steps below to connect your laptop as a monitoring workstation through the AP.  Verify your AP is operational and setup correctly before attempting this.

1. Connect your laptop to the SSID dCloud-Internal
2. Login as user itadmin/C1sco12345

Windows 8 will notify you that the certificate for the connection is not trusted; however, you should connect anyway. Prior to Windows 8, you may need to manually define the Wireless network in your device and specify it to NOT validate the certificate. Further details are available at the end of this document.

3. Navigate to http://topo.dcloud.cisco.com to connect the backend components.

You may also use the RDP program on your computer to connect to the Remote Monitoring Workstation in your pod. Start the RDP client, navigate to 198.18.133.36, and login using the following credentials: administrator/C1sco12345. Accept any certificate warnings.
