4.1 Setting up the Operations-Manager Console

To use the Operations-Manager function, you must run the program at both the managing host and the managed hosts. Note that only a user with Administrators permissions (or an administrator in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012) can start the Operations-Manager Console.

• Managing host: Start the Operations-Manager Console.

  Start the Operations-Manager Console at the managing host. It enables you to view transmission logs of the remote and local JP1/FTP servers and to register, update, and view definition information items.

  How to start the Operations-Manager Console

  From the Windows Start menu, choose Programs, JP1_File Transmission Server_FTP, and then Manager Console.
