For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

■Enabling HTTP Server or Secure Server
■Launching Cisco CP Express Admin View
Before you launch the Cisco CP Express Admin View, gather the following information from your service provider:
■Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) and Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) values if you use Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) as a Wide Area Network (WAN)
■Username and password to access the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) if you use ADSL as a WAN
Cisco CP Express can be accessed in one of these two modes:
■Secure mode—Uses HTTPS and requires HTTP Secure Server to be enabled on the router.
■Non-Secure mode—Uses HTTP and requires HTTP Server to be enabled on the router.
NOTE : By default, the HTTP and secure server are enabled for factory fresh routers.
You must enable HTTP or HTTPS before launching the Cisco CP Express.
The login to the http service must point to the local database on the router, because the Cisco CP Express End User View is configured locally on the router.
1. To configure the router as an http server, execute this command:
2. To configure the router as an https server, execute this command:
Before you proceed with launching the Cisco CP Express Admin View, you must complete tasks detailed in the Cisco CP Express Quick Start Guide at the following web link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/800/829/software/cisco_configuration_professional_express/v3_4/guides/quickstart/CiscoCPExpress_qsg.html
CAUTION: This product is shipped with a default configuration which is unique to each device. The default configuration allows the user to access the CCP Express Quick Setup Wizard to perform basic configuration. Erasing or any other manual configuration changes prior to using CCP Express is strongly discouraged as the default configuration is mandatory for CCP Express to operate. For any guidance on these scenarios, users are requested to reach out to their platform support team.
To launch the Cisco CP Express Admin View, perform these steps:
2. In the address bar, type the IP address of the router where Cisco CP Express Admin View is installed.
For example, type http://10.10.10.1 or https://10.10.10.1
3. Specify the username and the password of the router.
If you are using the router for the first time, use the one-time username and password (by default, cisco/cisco) configured for the router.
4. Click Log In.
The Cisco CP Express launches and is ready for use. With the one-time user present, you get redirected to the Wizard page with the prompt to create a new user.
CAUTION: This step is mandatory as it is crucial to retain access to the router. The one-time user will be automatically removed at this stage.
Enter the username/password for the new user to be created, and click Ok. You will be prompted a second time to enter the username/password of the new user just created.
