Overview

This section will help to familiarize you with the layout on the Home page of the DataChannel Console. You can access the home page by clicking on the Home Tab which is the topmost icon on the sidebar, right below the DataChannel Logo. Once there, you’ll notice that the Main UI screen on the Home page is divided into two side-by-side panes which allow you to access the forward and reverse connector wizards.
