After you have connected and activated the PAK, and rebooted the PC (as docu-
mented in the DMS Connectivity Configuration Guide) you should verify that the
main station (Stand-Alone) and FEPs are communicating correctly. You do this
with the System Supervisor Browser that you access by right-clicking the System
Monitor icon.

For more information about using the System Monitor and the System Supervi-
sor Browser, see Appendix A, "Using the System Monitor", p.74.
Testing Stand-Alone-to-FEP communication
1. Log on to the Stand-Alone and FEPs with the same user name and password.
Note: Step 1 is required if the PCs are the same workgroup. For FEPs in the
same domain, it is not necessary that the user name is the same.
2. If the server has not started automatically (the System Monitor icon shows a
flashing yellow dot, see Fig 18), right-click the icon and select 'Start Server'.
3. Launch the System Supervisor Browser (right-click the System Monitor icon and
select 'System Supervisor Browser').

4. Check that the System Supervisor Browser on the Stand-Alone station (the first
in the station list on the left) displays a green icon corresponding to each server
task (Fig 19).

5. Check that all of the FEP stations are listed.
6. Select each FEP and verify that the right pane of each shows all green icons.
