Verifying the Connection Status
When you launch the Active System Manager software, it requires you to connect to the server, to
successfully establish a working environment session.
To verify the connection status, perform the following steps:
1. Launch the Active System Manager software; see the “Launching the Active System Manager Client
Software on Windows” section on page 2-4.
The Welcome page displays the first time you log on. It is recommended to read the Welcome page at
least once. It contains a brief product overview and information on finding help. When you are finished,
you can close the page by clicking the X in the Welcome tab. To recall the Welcome page at a later time,
on the Active System Manager menu bar, click Help > Welcome.
The bottom status bar on the Welcome Home page indicates whether or not you are successfully
connected. A red light indicates that you are not connected; a green light (see Figure 2-5) indicates that
you are connected.
