No name or password is required to start Manager. A name and password is only required when connecting with a system.

When started, by default Manager will attempt to discover any systems on the network. If it finds any it will display a list from which you can select the system required.

1. Select Start and then Programs or All Programs depending on the version of Windows. Select the IP Office program group.

2. Select Manager. If a Windows Security Alert appears select Unblock to allow Manager to run.

3. By default Manager will scan the network for any systems. What appears next depends on whether it finds any systems.

   • If Manager finds multiple systems, the Select IP Office window displays a list of those systems from which you can select the one whose configuration you want to edit. If you want to open a configuration go to Opening a Configuration. If you don't want to load a configuration click on Cancel.

   • If it finds a single system, it will attempt to open the configuration of that system by displaying the Configuration Service User Login window..

   • If no systems are found or you cancel the steps above, the Manager simplified view is displayed. Use the simplified view to select one of the following action:

     • Create an Offline Configuration

     • Open a Configuration from a System

     • Read a Configuration from a File
