Modifying the Server Connection List

When you connect to a NerveCenter Server, the Web client automatically connects you to one or more NerveCenter servers that you've preselected. This list of one or more servers is called a server connection list.

You modify the server connection list from the Web client's Server Selection page.

Server Selection page

The first time you use the Web client, no servers will have been selected, so you must initialize this set of servers. After you've initially specified one or more servers to connect to, you can always go back and modify your server connection list.

 
  To define the set of servers you want to connect to at login:

1. Access the Server Selection page. If you are:

• Starting the Web client for the first time, the Server Selection page is displayed automatically once you select OK on the Web client's Login Information page.
• Starting the Web client any time after the first time, in the Login Information page, select Modify Server Connect List before selecting OK.
• Already logged in to a NerveCenter Server, in the alarm-summary page, select the Modify Server List from the drop-down list box in the upper right corner of the client window, and select the Go button.

1. In the Server Selection page, populate the Available Servers list with the names of all the NerveCenter servers to which you might potentially connect. For each server:
   1. Type the name of the server in the Add New Server text field.
   2. Select the Add button.

      The Available Servers list box now includes the name of the server.

      Note    The servers that you select must allow logins using the username and password that you supplied when you started the Web client; also, the username must be a member of a NerveCenter user group (unless you are running Windows NT without NerveCenter security). You must use the same username and password for every server to which you want to connect.

2. Move the names of the servers you want to connect to now to the Selected Servers list box. For each server:
   1. Select the server in the Available Servers list.
   2. Select the >> button.
3. Select the OK button.
