Establishing CentreVu CMS Server Connection 
Settings
5
You must establish connection settings in order to connect to the CMS server. If 
you have already established connection settings, go to the following sections:
l“Logging Into the CMS Server — First Time” on page 5-9
l“Logging Into CMS Server — After First Time” on page 5-10.
There are three connection options: 
lNetwork
lSerial
lModem. 
You can set these options to connect to the CMS server one of two ways:
lAutomatic—used to login to the CMS server directly from Supervisor
lManual—used to login to the CMS server by way of the server’s Solaris* 
system. You would use manual login for the following reasons:
— You need to access 
cmssvc and cmsadm menus
— You are instructed to do so for troubleshooting purposes
— Your version of Supervisor resides in a different Solaris system than 
the CMS server.
NOTE:
For more information about your Solaris system, see your Solaris system 
administrator. 
Now you are ready to open Supervisor and establish a connection to the CMS 
server.  See “Opening the 
CentreVu Supervisor Application” on page 5-3.
