Quick start
Default credentials differ by purchase type:
- MK.IO Beam hardware purchased from MediaKind: credentials are on the paper Quick Start Guide supplied with the hardware.
- SW Only: credentials are in the email from SWSupply with a subject containing "Your recent MK.IO Beam purchase...".
Change the default password after your first login. Select the user icon in the upper right corner of the device UI and choose Change password.
Complete the following steps to configure and register your MK.IO Beam device.
Install the ISO
This step is required for SW Only customers only. The ISO is pre-installed on MK.IO Beam hardware purchased from MediaKind.
