Management server and client
The Management application has two parts: the Server and the Client. The Server is installed on
one machine and stores device-related information; it does not have a user interface. To view
information through a user interface, you must log in to the Server through a Client. The Server and
Clients may reside on the same machine, or on separate machines. If you are running Professional,
the server and the client must be on the same machine.
Logging into a server from the server machine
You must log into a server to monitor your network.
NOTE
You must have an established user account on the server to log in.
To log into a server, complete the following steps.
1. From the server machine, double-click the desktop icon or open the application from the Start
