Launching the Emerge Application

To gain access from the remote computer through Emerge to the target system

1Double-click the Emerge icon to open the Emerge application.

If this is the first time you are running the Emerge, you will use the Switch Configuration Wizard to configure Emerge to recognize the connected switch (or switches). (See “Using the Switch Configuration Wizard.”)

2Use the Emerge window to specify settings or make connections to the connected target systems. The Emerge window displays current system information for the target system, including its resolution and activity. You should see that the video is specified as active. (See “Emerge Application Window.”)

3From the File menu, select Start Session.

4You can now launch applications, read files, and change system settings on the target system. If you are connected to an Apex switch, you will be able to utilize OSCAR menus to access the commands and functions of the switch.

Note

Emerge has assigned various tasks to function keys. If you use one or more functions key in other applications, you may want to reassign or remove the Emerge function key settings. Review the table “Default Settings for Emerge Function Keys” in Chapter 4, Operations, to learn how Emerge function keys are configured.
