VMS Initial Startup Procedure
Configure Server Connection
Start the Vipersat Management System service on the VMS Server and open the
Connection Manager on the VMS Client.
1. On the VMS Server, select Vipersat Management System from Windows
Services and Start the service, if it is not already running.
Starting the service is described in Chapter 2, VMS Installation, in the
section “Verify Server Installation” on page 2-27.
Note: It is recommended that this service be configured for Automatic
Startup.
2. On the VMS Client workstation, open the Connection Manager, using
either the Desktop shortcut, or from the path Start > Programs > VMS >
Connection Manager.
Although the Connection Manager can be opened on the VMS Server, it is
NOT RECOMMENDED to run ViperView on the same machine as the
VOS.
3. The Connection Manager will prompt for the Server with which to connect
(figure 3-4). Enter the IP address of the active VMS Server and click the
OK button.
