Right click on the UMS icon in the TaskBar and select Web interface.
It will open UMS web interface in your web browser, on the port 9001 by default.
You can also type directly the address and port of the UMS web interface in you browser.
Note: A tiny cache web interface is also available on the port 5001.

From the web interface you can access you logs by going to Settings and selecting Documentation, or adding /doc in the address bar of your browser.
Example: http://192.168.1.28:9001/doc

Selecting UMS.conf and modifying some parameters and saving it under the name "UMS.conf" in your .../All Users/UMS folder is also possible.
Example: You can search a string assort_method = and change it value to 1
Note: Don't forget to correctly replace the _ character in UMS_conf by . and to save as "All files" type.

Others settings as "Reboot UMS" are available in the Server Settings section and many more, like "Restart", under the #- Video Settings -# sub section.
Note: Server Settings will be availble in the web interface only if your unselected "Hide the Server Settings" in Navigation/Share Settings tab from the GUI.

Parameters related to the Web interface that can be found in the UMS.conf file. Some of them are in the GUI as well.

Web port

The port that the web interface can be accessed by.
Note: Users can try to use port 80 in case that port is not being used by another program. Port 80 has an benefit that is not necessary to explicitly define the port and only localhost (e.g. http://192.168.0.100) is needed to open the web interface.
Also the web interface can be opened only by http://[pc name] which is useful in case the DHCP is used in the network and the address for the PC running UMS is assigned dynamically. Example: 7000, which means the web interface is at localhost:7000
