Starting the EPICenter Server in a Windows Environment
If you installed EPICenter as a regular application rather than as services, you must start the server
from the Start menu:
1 From the Start menu, highlight Programs, then Extreme Networks, followed by EPICenter 6.0 to
display the EPICenter menu.
2 Click Start EPICenter 6.0 Database. This starts the two components in the required order.
An MS-DOS window may very briefly appear as this process is started.
3 Click Start EPICenter 6.0 Server. This runs
runserv.exe, a program that starts the two components
in the required order.
An MS-DOS window may very briefly appear as these processes are started.
Starting the EPICenter Server in a Linux or Solaris Environment
To start the EPICenter server as a daemon (recommended):
/etc/init.d/EPICenter start
To run the EPICenter Server as an application:
1 Set the current directory to the EPICenter install directory:
cd <EPIC_install_dir>
<EPIC_install_dir> is the directory (path) where you installed the EPICenter components. If you
installed in the default directory, the path is
/opt/ExtremeNetworks/EPICenter6.0.

Starting the EPICenter Client
The EPICenter software provides two options for connecting to an EPICenter server from a client
system.
On Windows XP, or Windows 2003 Server systems, you can use:
● A stand-alone client application.
● A browser-based client you can run from Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 1.5.
On Linux and Solaris-based systems,
● The stand-alone client application and
● A browser-based client you can run from the Mozilla Firefox 1.5 browser. Microsoft Internet
Explorer is not supported on Linux or Solaris
The stand-alone client is installed along with the EPICenter server on the system where the server
resides. The stand-alone client can also be installed by itself on any system you want to use as an
EPICenter client. See the EPICenter Installation and Upgrade Note for instructions on installing the client
on a system without the EPICenter server.
The browser-based client is a signed Java applet that is downloaded from the EPICenter server when
you run it. It requires the Java Plug-in version 1.5.0_8. If the correct plug-in is nt currently installed, you
will be prompted to download it the first time you try to connect to the EPICenter server.
