ExtremeWare EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide 3-1

Starting ExtremeWare EPICenter
This chapter describes:
• Starting the ExtremeWare EPICenterServer.
• Launching an EPICenter Client.
• Navigating the EPICenter pages.
When you log in for the first time after installing the EPICenter server software, there are
only two user accounts enabled—an Administratoraccount “admin,” and a user account
“user” with Monitor access privileges. Neither account has a password. Follow the
instructions in Chapter 15 to change the admin password and to create additional
EPICenteruseraccounts.
Running the EPICenter Software under Windows
The following instructions assume that the Windows NT operating system is already
running, and that the ExtremeWare EPICenter server software is already installed.
If you have installed the EPICenter components as services under Windows NT, the
EPICenter Server and database component will start automatically when you boot the
server. This is the recommended method of installing EPICenter.
