3 Start Server and Client
3.1 Starting ESLServer
In order to start the ESL Service with the default configuration, just execute the jar file “server.jar”
as described in [Troubleshooting] and wait for the small service GUI to show up (if the window
doesn’t show up after all, make sure your Java installation and configuration is correct).

The service will listen to TCP connections on Port 8000 and 8001 and UDP
connections on Port 8000. Please make sure that there is no firewall issue
and/or interference with other systems.
After start of the service you can check the web-GUI of the server:
URL: http://<host|ip>:8000
Login: admin/admin
During the first start the ESLServer will automatically create a Derby
1
database. If another
database connection is needed or preferred, the connection parameters should be validated by
imagotag.
Note: As you can see there are several level numbers, by default the server instance will start in
level 3. You can find the description of the different levels in the Developer Reference (which is
also available at the Customer Portal) under “Integration Levels”.
3.1.1 Example articles
For easier usage some example articles can be preloaded at the time you start the ESLServer.
You can find the corresponding XMLarticle data here: C:\imagotag\server\data\fixtures\.
To enable and disable the preloading of these fixtures go to the system configuration and set the
corresponding property "importFixtures"true or false.
Note: The article records are based on the XML-standard.
