Starting AppCenter for the first time with a Control Point PC
Before you can run AppCenter from a network-connected PC running Control Point
software, you must perform two steps:
1. Log on to AppCenter (see the Windows administrator for domain, user name and
password).
2. Configure a channel suite.
This section describes these steps in detail.
Logging on to AppCenter
The first time you start AppCenter, a Log on dialog box displays. Enter your user
name and password.
NOTE: Your domain configuration might require that you use the syntax of machine
name\user name. For example, if you have difficulty logging on to a K2 Summit
Production Client, try logging on as \K2User.
Once you have logged in, the Suite Properties dialog box displays.
Configuring a channel suite
You need to configure the channel suite before you can use it. To configure a channel
suite, specify the K2 source that you want to use and add its channels to a channel
suite. You can add channels from several sources to one channel suite, with a
maximum of 16 channels in one channel suite.
To configure the channel suite, follow these steps:
1. At the blank Suite Properties dialog box, click the
Add
button. An Add Channel
dialog box displays.
2. Enter the K2 Summit Production Client host name or IP address.
3. Click
OK
. A second Add Channel dialog box displays, listing the channels on the
specified K2 Summit Production Client.
4. Select the channels you want in your channel suite and click
OK
.
5. Review the changes you have made to the Suite Properties dialog box and click
OK
.
Once you have saved the changes to the channel suite, you can modify the channel
suite’s name and location or rename or reorganize the channels. Descriptive channel
names are especially helpful when using a channel suite with channels from multiple
sources.
