Connect over Wi-Fi

  1. Connect your HoloLens to Wi-Fi.

  2. Look up your device's IP address. Find the IP address on the device under Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi > Hardware properties. You can also ask, 'Hey Cortana, what is my IP address?'

  3. From a web browser on your PC, go to https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>

    • The browser will display the following message: 'There's a problem with this website's security certificate'. This happens because the certificate which is issued to the Device Portal is a test certificate. You can ignore this certificate error for now and proceed.

Connect over USB

  1. Install the tools to make sure you have Visual Studio Update 1 with the Windows 10 developer tools installed on your PC. This enables USB connectivity.
  2. Connect your HoloLens to your PC with a micro-USB cable for HoloLens (1st Gen) or USB-C for HoloLens 2.
  3. From a web browser on your PC, go to http://127.0.0.1:10080.

Important

If your PC is unable to find the device, try using the real network IP address of the HoloLens device, rather than http://127.0.0.1:10080.

Connect to an emulator

You can also use the Device Portal with your emulator. To connect to the Device Portal, use the toolbar. Click on this icon:

  • Open Device Portal: Open the Windows Device Portal for the HoloLens OS in the emulator.

Create a Username and Password

The first time you connect to the Device Portal on your HoloLens, you will need to create a username and password.

  1. In a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the HoloLens. The Set up access page opens.
  2. Click or tap Request pin and look at the HoloLens display to get the generated PIN.
  3. Enter the PIN in the PIN displayed on your device textbox.
  4. Enter the user name you will use to connect to the Device Portal. It doesn't need to be a Microsoft Account (MSA) name or a domain name.
  5. Enter a password and confirm it. The password must be at least seven characters in length. It doesn't need to be an MSA or domain password.
  6. Click Pair to connect to Windows Device Portal on the HoloLens.

If you wish to change this username or password at any time, you can repeat this process by visiting the device security page by either clicking the Security link along the top right, or navigating to: https://<YOUR_HOLOLENS_IP_ADDRESS>/devicesecurity.htm.

Security certificate

If you are see a 'certificate error' in your browser, you can fix it by creating a trust relationship with the device.

Each HoloLens generates a unique self-signed certificate for its SSL connection. By default, this certificate is not trusted by your PC's web browser and you may get a 'certificate error'. By downloading this certificate from your HoloLens (over USB or a Wi-Fi network you trust) and trusting it on your PC, you can securely connect to your device.

Former Apple executive Ruben Caballero, who previously led the iPhone maker's 5G modem initiative, was picked up by Microsoft in March to work on emerging products like its HoloLens mixed reality headset.

According to a recently updated LinkedIn profile, Caballero now serves as a Microsoft corporate vice president in charge of hardware design and technology. More specifically, the wireless technology specialist is assigned to Microsoft's Mixed Reality & AI Division, which is responsible for the development of HoloLens and other 'Special Projects.'

A 14-year Apple veteran, Caballero left the Cupertino tech giant in April 2019 after the company reached a resolution to a drawn out legal battle with Qualcomm. At the time, the executive was thought to be heading a team tasked with the development of an in-house 5G modem.

Six months after departing Apple, Caballero was named chief wireless strategist at Keyssa, a startup focused on integrated wireless solutions. Detailed in a press release last October, Keyssa is currently developing technology that seeks to replace internal wired connections, like those between camera modules and logic board chips, with wireless alternatives.
Caballero is also working with a handful of fellow Apple alums at Humane, a shadowy startup founded by former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri and director of software engineering Bethany Bongiorno. The company has yet to announce its first product.
