Local Access (Within LAN)
On the PC that has Display Express installed, Click on the Display Express icon on the desktop, or launch a
browser and enter http://localhost/DX/.
From other computers on the LAN, you can:
 Install DX Find on the PC – it will locate Display Express for you (available at the bottom of CRwww.com
home page.
 Point the browser to the Display Express URL on the network:
o http://<IP address>/DX/
o http://<Computer Name>/DX/
Remote Access (WAN)
For access outside the local LAN the PC hosting Display Express should normally be set as a static IP address. DX
Find can locate Display Express by entering the static IP address for the Display Express server on the 'Add IP
Addresses' tab. You’ll need to communicate with your IT department to set up access to Display Express from
outside the network.

access is “Admin” (no password) accesses full use and administrative rights to DX. Upper and lower case doesn’t
matter for the User Name, only the password.

 System User – access to first panel in each section, all DX Panels, but no editing options
 Panel User – can only access DX Panels assigned to the user name
Log Off
You can log off DX by accessing the Home/Logoff menu, or close the browser.
