To start the EPICenter Server and database components, follow these steps:
1 From the Start menu, highlight Programs, then Extreme Networks, followed by EPICenter 4.1 to
display the EPICenter menu.

Two windows are displayed briefly as the EPICenter Server starts up:

the Windows task bar.

command in an MSDOS command
window to start the server:

runserv
You can also select Run from the Start menu and enter the command
