Accessing the system
You access a system performing the following steps:
1. Perform one of the following steps to select the network address of the desired system:
– Click a preselected list entry.
– Enter a network address manually .
– Select a network address using Server Lookup.
2. Log on to the desired system:
– Single server system
– Enterprise System
Using Server Lookup
A single user of Configuration Client or Operator Client may want to connect to multiple
system access points sequentially. This access is called Server Lookup. System access points
can be Management Server or Enterprise Management Server.
Server Lookup supports you in locating system access points by their names or descriptions.
The user retrieves the list of system access points during logon. He needs to connect to the
server hosting the configuration with Server List (Server List Provider).
To access:
1. Start Operator Client or Configuration Client.
The logon dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Connection: list, select <Browse...>.
If private and public IP address has been configured for a server, this is indicated.
If you select <Browse...> for the first time, the Server List Provider dialog box is
displayed.
3. In the (Enterprise) Management Server Address: field, type in a valid network address of
the desired server.
4. Enter a valid user name and password.
5. If required, click Remember Settings.
6. Click OK.
The Server Lookup dialog box is displayed.
7. Select the desired server.
8. Click OK.
9. If the selected server has both a private and a public network address, a message box is
displayed asking whether you are using a computer located in the private network of the
selected server.
The server name is added to the Connection: list in the logon dialog box.
10. Select this server in the Connection: list and click OK.
If you have selected the Remember Settings check box, you can select this server directly
when you again want to access this server.
