# Controller Configuration

### Configuring Controller settings in a web browser

The Controller’s cloud configuration web pages allow configuration of specific Controller settings, including the Controller’s date/time and NTP server if needed.

To connect to the Controller’s cloud configuration web pages, there are two methods:

<table><thead><tr><th width="174">Method</th><th>Procedure</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Navigate to the Controller's IP address</strong></td><td><ol><li>Find the IP address that has been assigned to the Controller by the local DHCP server.</li><li>Set DIP switch 1 to ON.</li><li>Connect a laptop/PC to the same network as the Controller.</li><li><p>Using a web browser, go to the Controller’s cloud configuration web page, replacing <em>&#x3C;ip_address></em> with the assigned IP address for the Controller:</p><p><em>http://&#x3C;ip_address>/cloud/</em></p><p>The Sign In dialog displays.</p></li><li><p>Enter <strong>cloud</strong> for the username, then <strong>GGLcloud</strong> for the password and press <strong>Enter</strong>.</p><p>The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.</p></li><li>Select the required link to configure the Controller as needed. </li><li>When finished, set DIP switch 1 to OFF.</li></ol></td></tr><tr><td><strong>Reset the Controller's IP address, then navigate to it</strong> </td><td><p>If you cannot find the Controller's DHCP IP address, the Controller can use the default IP address by powering it on with DIP switches 1, 2, and 3 ON. The Controller then uses the following default addresses:</p><ul><li><strong>Controller IP:</strong>  192.168.1.199</li><li><strong>Gateway:</strong>         192.168.1.198</li><li><strong>Subnet:</strong>            255.255.255.0</li></ul><ol><li>Connect the Controller to your PC via the Controller's Ethernet port.</li><li>Set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to ON.</li><li>Power cycle the Controller.</li><li><p>Using a web browser from a PC on the same subnet as the Controller, enter the default IP address of the Controller as follows:</p><p><em>http://192.168.1.199/cloud/</em></p><p>The Sign In dialog displays.</p></li><li><p>Enter <strong>cloud</strong> for the username, then <strong>GGLcloud</strong> for the password and press <strong>Enter</strong>.</p><p>The Gallagher Cloud Controller Configuration web page displays.</p></li><li>Select the required link to configure the Controller as needed.</li><li>When finished, set DIP switches 1, 2 and 3 to OFF.</li></ol></td></tr></tbody></table>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.security.gallagher.com/smb/installing-gallagher-smb/controller-configuration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
