sion user name and password.
1. Turn on the exacqVision server.
2. When the Log on dialog box appears, create a user name and password for the operating system.
3. Configure the operating system settings as required.
4. If prompted, log on to the operating system again with the operating system user name and password that you just created.
5. When you log on, an exacqVision dialog box appears on the desktop. Create the exacqVision user name and password.
Note: The credentials in step 5 are not the same as the credentials you created to log on to the operating system. Use these
credentials to log on to the Exacq Server.

Setting up remote access to the server
About this task:
You can configure the server through a remote exacqVision client.
1. Download the latest exacqVision Client software from the Exacq website at: https://www.exacq.com/support/downloads.php.
2. Install the client software on a system administrator computer.
3. Use the ping command and the server's IP address to confirm connectivity. If the client PC cannot communicate with the server, contact
your network administrator.
Remote access for administrative support
For administrative support to access to the server remotely, configure remote desktop for Windows, or SSH for Linux depending on the
computer operating system. For more information, refer to the following Exacq Knowledge Base articles:
