Installing DSAdmin

DSAdmin is the administrative front end for the DSAuth Server that is used to

configure user information and access levels. DSAdmin can be installed on the

same machine as the DSAuth Server, or on a separate machine and then con-

nected to the DSAuth Server through the network.

During the installation, a window will appear; enter the name or IP address

of the PC where the DSAuth Server is installed. This will be your primary

DSAuth Server. Also, if you are installing a non-English version of the DS

Management Software, you will be prompted for the name of a default

user setting.

To install from the CD:

1. Log on to the PC as Administrator.

2. Insert the DS Management Software CD. An autorun file will bring up a

menu of installation options.

3. When prompted to select a program to install, select Install DSAdmin. The

software will check the Avocent web site to ensure you have the latest

version of the DSAdmin software. If a newer version is found, it will be

automatically downloaded. The installation will then begin.
