Launching NetSight Applications

Page and run the NetSight applications from a remote client machine.

the following format:
http://<servername>:8080/
where <servername> is the NetSight appliance IP address or hostname, and 8080 is the required
port number. For example,
http://10.20.30.40:8080/
The NetSight Launch Page opens.

This is because the NetSight Server has a single pre-defined user that is the user who performed the
NetSight installation. Once the initial user has logged in, additional users can be defined.
The first time you attempt to launch a NetSight application, you will be prompted for the license text
you received when you generated your NetSight product license.
For more information on the NetSight Launch page, access the NetSight Online Help by clicking on
Help in the right corner of the NetSight Launch Page banner. In the Online Help Table of Contents,
select Installation Guide and then read the section titled "Remote Client Launch."
