Restart Windows to activate the new settings.
NOTE
You can also open a command window and use the SET command from the command prompt to set the
EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable.
In Solaris or Linux:
1
Open the
/etc/ridgeline30.profile
file.
2
Locate the following line in the file:
EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS=<ip_addr_to_bind_to>
3
Replace
<ip_addr_to_bind_to>
with the IP address to use for communication between the
Ridgeline server and the managed devices.
4
Open the
/etc/profile
file.
5
Locate the following line in the file:
EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS=<ip_addr_to_bind_to>
6
Replace <ip_addr_to_bind_to> with the IP address to use for communication between the Ridgeline
server and the managed devices.

Start the Ridgeline server to activate the environment variable setting. To do this, enter the following
command:
/etc/init.d/RidgelineServer30 start
You must have administrative rights to access
init.d
files.
Configuring a Multi-Homed Server with Separate Management
and Client Access Networks
If the multi-homed Ridgeline server will have one interface connected to a management network (that
is, a network with connections to the managed devices), and another interface on a network used for
Ridgeline client access, configure the Ridgeline server as follows:
1
Set the EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS environment variable to
0.0.0.0
, so that the system binds on
all interfaces. See
“Setting the EPICENTER_SERVER_ADDRESS Environment Variable” on page 26
for information on how to set this variable.
