1. Accessing MySMS
Once the installation is done, MySMS will automatically start on the local server, bringing you to the MySMS local website using the default web browser.
The MySMS local host is http://localhost:8080/smscenter.
Figure 1 MySMS Local Host
You can use another MySMS URL to access MySMS:
http://the local server IP address:8080/smscenter
In this guide, the local IP address is 192.168.6.161, so you need to point the browser to the URL: http://192.168.6.161:8080/smscenter
This URL can be applied to other computers in the same local network to access MySMS.
