The app is the interface for parents. It runs in any browser, on a phone as well as on a PC, and can only be reached in your own network.
The address
Type the box's address into your browser's address bar, for example:
http://mupibox.local/or with the box's IP address:
http://192.168.1.50/The box's start page is the app's sign-in window. From there you get into the app and into the box's older admin interface. The app lives at /app/, this manual at /manual/.
Signing in
The app knows several ways in:
- With a password, which you set under Settings › Security › Password & sign-in. It applies to the whole app, on the phone as on the PC.
- By QR code on the display: press and hold the status indicator at the top right of the display for a few seconds (the hold time can be set under Settings › Display & controls › Controls on the display). The settings on the display open. Tap Parent web app there: a QR code appears that you scan with your phone. This also works without a password (Settings on the display).
- With a link via Telegram, if you have set up the bot (Telegram).
If Require sign-in is switched on, the box also protects its display page and its interface against access from the network. The box itself, its display and its own services are not affected.
