Getting Started with AppCenter
Types of K2 users
Anyone with ordinary network access privileges can view the AppCenter channels.
Before you can use AppCenter, you must log onto AppCenter using a user name and
password supplied by a Windows administrator.
NOTE: A K2 administrator controls AppCenter, the K2 Summit Production Client,K2
Solo Media Server and the K2 Media Server. A Windows administrator controls the
Control Point PC or the computer on which the K2 system runs.
The table below explains the four types of K2 user.
For the K2User, the default password is K2user. (The password is case sensitive.)
For more information on K2 access privileges, see the K2 System Guide.
Starting AppCenter
Once you have installed AppCenter, you can start it by clicking on the AppCenter
shortcut on the Windows desktop.
If you are using AppCenter on a local K2 Summit Production Client, you can begin
using it immediately after you log on. The first time you run AppCenter remotely
through a network-connected Control Point PC, you need to set up a channel suite
before you can use AppCenter. For more information, refer to the next section
“Starting AppCenter for the first time with a Control Point PC” .
CAUTION: If the K2 Summit Production Client was shut down using
Windows XP Standby mode, AppCenter will not start up, even though
the K2 Summit Production Client machine itself boots up normally.

Summit Production Clients, the user needs access privileges on each K2
Summit Production Client.) Can view Configuration Manager.
