AlliedView NMS Installation Guide (Starting Up AlliedView NMS 9.0)
5. Starting Up AlliedView NMS 9.0
5.1 Starting the AlliedView NMS Server on Windows
If you chose to install the AlliedView NMS as a Windows automatic Service, the AlliedView NMS Server will
start automatically when your computer is restarted. If you left the AlliedView NMS Client menu item in your
Windows Startup menu, the AlliedView NMS Client will also start automatically when your computer is
restarted. In this case, no further action is required, as both the server and client will be started automatically
when a user logs in.
If you chose not to install the AlliedView NMS as an automatic Service, you will have to start it manually. Like-
wise, if you removed the AlliedView NMS Client item from your Startup menu, you will have to start the client
manually. There are two ways in which you can manually start the AlliedView NMS Server: from the Start menu
or from the Administrative Tools window. The following sections describe how this is done.
5.1.1 Starting the NMS Server from the Start Menu
To start the AlliedView NMS Server from the Start menu, select Start -> Programs -> AlliedView NMS -> Start
Server. The AlliedView NMS window will appear. In the window title bar, you will see DO NOT CLOSE. Do
not close this window as it will cause the server process to fail. Later, an Apache window will appear (on the FE
only). Do not close this window either.
Several messages will scroll by in the AlliedView NMS window as the server software initializes. You will see
the following message in the AlliedView NMS window when the server is ready:
Please connect your client to the web server on port: 9090
At this point, the server is ready to accept client connections. You can iconify the two server windows to get them
out of your way, but do not close either window. If you need to shut down the server, refer to Chapter
6.
5.1.2 Starting the NMS Server from the Services Window
When you installed the AlliedView NMS software, item AlliedView NMS was added to your Windows Services.
To see this item, follow these steps:
1. Select Start -> Settings -> Control Panel to access the Control Panel on your computer.
Note: You can also double-click My Computer, and then double-click Control Panel in the My
Computer window.
