It may depends upon the Court. Most courts would want you to notice a hearing and provide the other side an chance to appear before entering a default that means you need need to mail them notice of the hearing date. You would need to request it from the clerk of court or Judge's secretary.
You can also enter the default with the clerk and request that clerk present the file to the Judge along with a proposed order. It depends upon the Judge. They all have their different practices and local rules. You might want to ask the clerk.
I hope this answers your question.
