EPICenter Concepts and Solutions Guide

Getting Started with EPICenter

This chapter covers how to use some of the basic features of the EPICenter system:

•

Starting EPICenter.

•

How to get Help.

•

EPICenter User Roles.

•

Creating the Device Inventory.

•

Organizing your network elements using groups.

•

Using the Alarm System. 

•

Organizing views of your network using the Topology function.

•

Using Basic Reports.

Starting EPICenter

The EPICenter software consists of a server component that runs on a Windows or Solaris server, and a 
client component, that can be installed and run on separate Windows or Solaris systems. 

Once the EPICenter server is running, multiple clients can connect to it. The EPICenter software 
supports multiple administrator users, with different roles that determine the EPICenter functions each 
user can perform. 

This chapter assumes you have successfully installed (or upgraded to) the current EPICenter software 
version—version 5.0 or later, and that the EPICenter server is running.

If you have not yet installed version 5.0, see the 

EPICenter Installation and Upgrade Note

 for instructions. 

The 

Installation and Upgrade Note 

is included in the EPICenter product package along with the EPICenter 

software CD, and is also available in Adobe PDF format on the CD, and from the Extreme Networks 
web site. 

Starting the EPICenter Server

The EPICenter Server consists of two components: 

•

The EPICenter Database Server

•

The EPICenter Server
