Logging on

After you log on to Fathom Management for the first time, you must establish some initial configuration settings before you can use Fathom.

To access the logon window and open the Fathom Management console:

  1. Choose one of the following methods, depending on whether you are accessing the management console from a Web browser or locally:
    • To access Fathom from a Web browser, enter the URL http://host:port in the Address or Location field. The host is the name of a machine on which Fathom is installed, and port is the Fathom Web server port (by default, this port is 9090). A logon window appears.
    • To access Fathom locally from the Windows Desktop, select Start Programs Fathom Management Console. The default browser appears in the background and the logon window, shown below, appears in the foreground:
    • (Depending on how Fathom Management was installed at your site, there might also be a Management Console shortcut icon available from the Windows Desktop. If so, clicking the icon displays this same logon window.)

      Note that the specific appearance of the logon window depends on the browser you are using.

  2. If you are logging on for the first time, type the user name admin and the password admin in the appropriate fields, and click OK. The Fathom Management Configuration page appears when the console opens.
  3. When you log on at any point after the first time, you use a new password you have created. The console opens to My Fathom:
