Start the Management Console

To start the Management Console, select Start > Programs > PolyServe

Matrix Server > Management Console. The Matrix Server Connect

window asks for connection information and then starts the PolyServe

Management Console or opens the Configure Matrix window.

Connect to: Type a matrix or server name or select a name from the drop-

down list. When you connect to a server or matrix, it is added to the drop-

down list. Click the Clear History button to delete the list. (Saved

bookmarks will remain.)

By default, the Connect window logs you onto the matrix using your OS

user credentials. If you want to log on as another user, click the “As User”

button ( ). You can then supply the user name and password for that

user as specified under ““Authentication Parameters and Bookmarks” on

page 26.”

Connect: This button provides two options: Connect or Configure; click

the down arrow to see the options. The Connect option starts the

PolyServe Management Console, which allows you to perform matrix

administration and monitoring activities. The Configure option opens the

Configure Matrix window, where you can perform matrix-wide

configuration operations. When you click on the Connect option and, if

requested, supply the necessary authentication information, the

Management Console window appears. See “The PolyServe Management

Console” on page 30 for more information about the Management

Console.
