Installation Instructions
Installing Global Management System
You will be asked to respond to the following.
A. Accept End User License Agreement.
B. Enter Manager URL.
C. Choose Default Web Page
Manager URL
The Manager URL is what the ViewStations use to communicate with Global Management
System. In cases where the system has multiple IP addresses, this allows the selection of one
particular address for use with Global Management System. In most cases except for systems
with multiple IP addresses, the default shown should work.
In some applications, it is preferable to use a host name instead of an IP address. If this is the
case, enter the fully qualied domain name for the Manager URL For example, if your Global
Management System server host name is “GMSMain” and the domain name is “companyA.com”,
then “GMSMain.companyA.com” should be entered as the Manager URL for the installation.
Figure 1.5 Installation > Management URL
Default Web Page
If “Yes” is selected, setup will overwrite the default web page with a web page that points to the
Global Management System. When uninstalling, the original default web page will be restored.
If ‘no’ is selected, the original default web page is preserved but users connecting to the Global
Management System server will need to type in the complete web address. (E.g. by default, http:
//SystemIP/pwx/admin.asp, where SystemIP is the IP address or URL of the Global Management
System server).
