Make Sure That the Console Service is Running
On Windows NT/2000/2003/XP systems, the console is installed, but the service is not enabled by default.
To enable the service, go to the Control Panel->Services applet and "Start" the
"SiteMaestro Console" service.
On Unix systems, the console is only started if the "Enable Console" question is answered "Y" during
the install. If you did not answer yes, then to enable the console, edit the "sm.conf" configuration
file. Under the [Console] section, change "enabled=false" to "enabled=true" and save. Then start
the console, by entering (Solaris: /etc/init.d/sitemaestro start, Linux: /etc/rc.d/sitemaestro start)

Browse the Console
If your web browser is not currently displaying the console web interface, open your
browser and enter "http://localhost:8081/" in the location or address field and press
the Enter key.

Add your Agents
By default, the console will already have "localhost" configured. However, to add
additional agents, enter each in a comma-seperated list. To detect all agents on a subnet,
enter a broadcast address, such as 255.255.255.255:8080. When finished press the
 button.

Configure Your Email Server (Optional)
Click on the  link. Then,
enter your email server information as shown below. If you are running Unix and
do not enter SMTP server information, the agent will use the default "mail" or "mailx"
command to send Email. When finished press the
button.

Enter Your Email Address (Optional)
Click on the  link. Then,

initially set to contact the "Tier1" alias. When finished press the
