appliance IP address in a browser running on your local computer.

the appliance registers a DNS name at startup with the format: ci-<MAC
address>. You can determine the Ethernet MAC address of the appliance
using the Network tab of Hyper-V Manager. Use the name in the browser's
address bar. For example:
https://ci-<MAC address>.example.com
If you do not have dynamic DNS, use the virtual console to connect to the

console to perform the first time setup steps.

running on the virtual console. Press Ctrl+Alt to exit from the virtual console.
Hyper-V Select Connect in Hyper-V Manager to connect to the appliance console to
