The Admin Console requires installation of the free program Bonjour, which is the service our software uses to auto-discover the Resara Server on your network. You will be prompted to install this program during installation.

Step 3: Launch the Admin Console by clicking the Admin Console icon on your desktop, or from the Resara folder in your Start Menu. If your Resara Server has not already been configured, the Admin Console will automatically discover it on your network and allow you to configure your server. If your Resara Server has already been configured, it will automatically discover your server and domain. If not, you can enter the IP of the server into the Domain field of the login screen.
