Log in to the IP Portal

To log in to the IP Portal, you first need to be logged in to your Equinox user account.

Once logged into Equinox, you can access the IP Portal in two ways:

What happens if I try to log in to the IP Portal without logging in to Equinox?

You need to be logged in to your Equinox user account to use the IP Portal. If you try to access the IP Portal when you're not logged in, you’ll see a message telling you that you need to log in to your Equinox account before using the IP Portal.

I'm logged into Equinox but I'm getting the error screen. Why's this?

If you're logged into Equinox but are seeing the above error message when trying to access the IP Portal, this usually means your IP Portal session has timed out due to inactivity and logged you out. Click the IP Portal logo in your Equinox system to relaunch the IP Portal.

Log out of the IP Portal

To log out of the IP Portal:

1. Click the person icon on the top right-hand side of the screen

2. A dropdown list will appear

3. Select Sign Out from the bottom of the dropdown list

4. The Logged Out screen will appear to let you know you've successfully logged out

Note: Logging out of the IP Portal only ends your IP Portal Session. It doesn't log you out of Equinox.
