# Access Menu on other devices

Since SpectraAI is hosted locally on your PC, you can access the Web Interface from any other device (like a smartphone, tablet, or laptop) connected to your home network.

***

### Prerequisites

* The device you want to use must be connected to the **same Wi-Fi or network** as the PC running SpectraAI.
* **Firewall:** You must disable the Firewall on the host PC (the one running `SpectraAI.exe`) to allow incoming connections [click here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z49e9Hw1j34).

***

### Step 1: Find Your Host IP Address

You need the local IP address of the computer running the software.

1. On the PC running `SpectraAI.exe`, press the **Windows Key**.
2. Type `cmd` and press **Enter** to open the Command Prompt.
3. Type the following command and press **Enter**:

   ```bash
   ipconfig
   ```
4. Look for the line labeled **IPv4 Address**. It will look something like `192.168.1.15` or similar.

   * **Note this number down.**

   ### **Step 2: Open on Second Device**
5. Grab your secondary device (phone, laptop, etc.).
6. Open a web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.).
7. In the address bar, type the IPv4 address you found in Step 1, followed by `:3000`.

   **Format:**

   ```
   http://YOUR_IPV4_ADDRESS:3000/
   ```

   **Example:** If your IPv4 was `192.168.1.50`, you would type: `http://192.168.1.50:3000/`

> Note that if you type https instead of http, it will not work!!

8. Press Go/Enter. The SpectraAI menu should now appear on your device.
