8 Quick Start
Software Setup
8.1. Overview
This section gives step-by-step instructions to show
you how to log in to Site Manager, set up the navigation
tree, user access, and communication information. From
the navigation tree you can connect to controllers, set up di-
rectory, site, control system, and unit information.
8.2. Launching Site
Manager
To begin using Site Manager, open a Web browser:
If running the same computer on which Site Manager
was installed, type http://localhost/emerson inside the
browser field. If running the program from another com-
puter, use the machine name or IP address instead of local-
host. The Site Manager program will open.
You can begin using Site Manager by creating a direc-
tory structure Section 8.5., Create A Directory Structure or
setting up users Section 8.6., Set Up Users (Optional).
8.3. Login
The login page is the first page that appears when the
program is started.
1. Enter your Login ID and password into their respec-
tive fields (the Password field is case sensitive).
Users created by the installation are “user” with a pass-
word of “pass” for basic user access to the program, and
“administrator” with a password of “pass” that has full con-
trol of the Site Manager system. It is strongly recommend-
ed that you rename these users and change the passwords
as soon as the program is installed and running. It is also
highly recommended that each user have his/her own login.
For more information, go to User Manager and Group
Manager sections of the Site Manager online help.
2. Press the Login button or press Return on your key-
board.
3. Click the I Agree button to begin using the applica-
tion. (First-time users will be presented with the li-
cense agreement window.)

will open where the navigation tree and main infor-
mation window are located.
8.4. Licensing
Site Manager has basic (Maintenance Upgrades &
Tech Support license) and extra features that are activated
by obtaining a license (some of which will need to be re-
newed yearly) and includes features such as user info,
pending activities, activity history, setup, obtaining con-
troller info, adding, editing, and deleting directories, sites,
and control systems, and some administrator functions.
For features such as backing up, sending reports, for-
warding and viewing advisories, setpoint broadcast, ac-
cessing the online help system, firmware transfer, and
more, a Site Manager license is needed for activation. Ad-
ditional plug-in features will need specified keys for oper-
ation.
The license key must be entered on the Feature Licens-
ing page to activate the desired feature. A Maintenance Up-
grades & Tech Support license key activates basic features
and the feature license key activates feature functionalities
of Site Manager.
The licensing activation page is accessible from the
Feature Activation menu on the online help drop-down
menu in Site Manager. The menu will only be visible with
certain user privileges enabled to allow you to add/edit
software license keys.
1. Locate your unique Hardware Fingerprint number
on the Feature Licensing page.
