Starting Response Point Administrator and Logging On to the Base Unit
To start Administrator and log on to the base unit:
1.Click Start, point to All Programs, and click Microsoft Response Point Administrator.
2.Select the base unit that you just installed, and click Connect.
Note: A few seconds may elapse. If you don’t see the base unit listed, it’s likely that the base unit or the computer on which Administrator is running is not connected properly to the LAN. Make sure all cables and power cords are connected.

»» It is recommended that you change this password as soon as possible for security purposes.
