# First Steps

Welcome to nomos! This guide will help you establish the initial connection to your nomos system Controller.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Prerequisites:** Make sure the nomos system Controller is connected to a power supply and an Ethernet connection to your network has been established. Your modem/router will automatically assign an IP address to the nomos system Controller.
{% endhint %}

## Establishing a Connection to the Controller

1. Open a web browser (Google Chrome is recommended) on your computer or tablet.
2. Use the nomos system App, a preferred discovery tool, or check directly via your router to determine the IP address of the nomos system Controller.
3. Alternatively, you can open [https://discover.nomos-system.com](https://discover.nomos-system.com/) and enter the serial number of the nomos system Controller.
4. Now, use the browser and the IP address to connect directly to your nomos system Controller.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Connected!** You have now established a direct network connection to your nomos system Controller. If the controller has already been set up by your integrator, you will immediately see the overview display of your nomos system Controller.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Not yet configured?** If the controller has not yet been set up, you will be guided through the first 14 setup steps.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.nomos-system.com/nomos-system/integrator-en/first-steps.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
