Getting Started with NerveCenter Client

Before you can begin monitoring your network using the NerveCenter Client, you must start the client and then establish a connection between the client and one or more NerveCenter servers. You may also want to set up alarm filters to control which alarm instances the NerveCenter Client will display information about.

For instructions on how to perform these and related tasks, see the sections listed below:
