Using the NMC-RX Application

The NMC-RX application uses many standard conventions employed in other Microsoft Windows software applications.

Starting the NMC-RX Application

You must start the database and several services before you can start the NMC-RX application.

To start the NMC-RX application:

1. Double-click the appropriate NMC-RX Database icon.

This icon represents the Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere program, which must be running before you start the NMC-RX application.

2. Double-click the NMC-RX Polling icon.
3. Double-click the CfgSyncSvc<serviceID> icons to start each Config Sync Service.
4. Double-click the NMC-RX icon.

The splash screen and the NMC-RX User Authentication dialog box appear.

5. Enter your username and password, and then click OK.

The Network Workshop window appears.

Logging In

When you run the NMC-RX application, the NMC-RX User Authentication dialog box appears.

Your username and password prevent unauthorized users from accessing your device configuration. Only users with a security privilege can create a new user. Users, however, can change their own passwords.

Default Administrator

To log in as the default administrator:

1. For initial login, accept the default username: admin.
2. Enter the default password: nmc-rxadmin
3. Click OK.

The Network Workshop window appears.

You can change the default admin password (nmc-rxadmin), but you cannot change or delete the default username (admin).

NOTE: We strongly suggest that you change the admin password and store it in a secure location. See Chapter 9, Configuring Security Settings.

Exiting the NMC-RX Application

To exit the application, choose Exit from the File menu, or click in the window title bar.
