Logging On

Once you start the ApplinX Administrator, the Logon screen is displayed. When this is the first time you are logging on, by default, "Administrator" will be displayed in the User name field. Type the server address (IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported) and port. When it is not the first time you are logging on, the Administrator will automatically try to connect to the last server it connected to.
