Double-click the IMS-4000 icon to start the IMS-4000 ConsoleView Software. The software will automatically try to con-
nect to all IMS-4000 Hosts that have been configured. If this is the first time you are running the software, you will need to
create an Enterprise Group and add a Host within each Enterprise. (See Configuring Hosts and Nodes)

An Enterprise Group comprises an IMS-4000 Host, any IMS-4000 Nodes connected to that Host, and all of the environ-
mental inputs connected to these units, regardless of proximity to the Host.
Note: Before setting up your Enterprise software, you must have locally configured your Host and Node units—which
is where you assign the Host its IP address. If you have not done this, the ConsoleView software will not be able to
locate your Host. If you are connecting to your Host through a dialup connection, be sure to establish a PPP connection
before running the software. (See Remote Login via Dialup) See the sections in your Host and Node Manuals on Local
Configuration.
