on the screen until you initialize the service.
To initialize the missing Service (Brains):
1. Navigate to the Services option in the left menu. The Services screen opens.
2. If the Service has not been installed, the Services page will show an Install button at
the top right of the screen (in green).

If connected to the Internet, KC-Virtual Brain1 will download the latest Kramer
Control version from the Kramer AWS ENV (Amazon Web Services Environment) as
part of the provisioning process.

of Kramer Control.
The Services page will show the service running after the install.
