Launching Cisco EMF
The Cisco EMF Launchpad application is the main starting point for using Cisco EMF. The Launchpad
can be accessed by starting a Cisco EMF user session. Before you can start a Cisco EMF user session,
Cisco EMF has to be running. If a message is displayed indicating that Cisco EMF is not running,
contact the system administrator.
To start a Cisco EMF user session, do the following:
Step 1
From the command line on the terminal window, type the following:
Cisco EMF_ROOT/bin/Cisco EMF session
Note
Replace Cisco EMF_ROOT with the root directory in which Cisco EMF is installed (for example,
/opt/Cisco EMF).
The login window appears as follows.

Login Window
Step 2
Enter your user name and password, then click Ok to proceed.
When an invalid user name or password is entered, an error is displayed. Click Ok and then enter a valid
user name and password. Three attempts to enter a valid user name and password are allowed. If a valid
user name and password are not entered within three attempts, the login window closes.
When a valid user name and the password are entered, the session starts and the Cisco EMF Launchpad
window appears (see
Figure 3-2
).
