Command View TL is a web server that hosts a GUI interface to web clients. Command View
TL runs on the management station as a service. By default, this service starts automatically
whenever the management station is booted, and runs invisibly in the background. In most
cases, the default installation settings are adequate.

IMPORTANT:

The typical installation does not include SMIS Tape Provider. In order to install

SMIS Tape provider, choose the custom installation and select SMIS Tape provider from the
features list.

After complete installation of Command View TL , restart Command View TL service to receive
Test Alerts when set from CVTL GUI Administrator+Send Insight Remote Support Test Alert.

If you need to stop Command View TL from running on the management station, use the
Services applet that is included with Windows. To access the Services applet, select
Start+Settings

→Control Panel→Administrative Tools→Services and locate the Command View

TL service in the list. Use the Services applet to start and stop services, and to set whether the
service is started automatically when the computer is booted. See the online help that comes
with the Services applet for more information.

The product documentation is located in the docs directory on the Installation CD.

Starting Command View TL

Command View TL requires Adobe Flash Player 10.3 plug-in. If the Adobe Flash Player 10.3
plug-in is not already installed on your computer and you are using a Windows operating system,
Command View TL attempts to download and install it for you. If prompted to install the Adobe
Flash Player 10.3, click OK and follow the instructions in the window. Otherwise, manually
download and install Adobe Flash Player 10.3 on the management station or remote client.

To start Command View TL, open your browser, either on the management station or on a client
machine on the LAN, and enter the following URL in the address field:

http://hostname:4095/

(where hostname is the IP address or network name of the management station. If you are starting
Command View TL on the management station itself, you can substitute localhost for the
hostname

).

On the management station, you can also start Command View TL from the Windows Start button:
