Launch Automation Server

The Automation Server requires security privileges to run. A user with the right account privileges must be logged in to the machine that will run the Automation Server. The Automation Server launches as a member of the startup group.

To launch the Automation Server, go to the desktop folder that was created by the software installer. Then go to the ‘Development tools’ folder and double-click the ‘Automation Server’ short-cut. The location of this short-cut is “C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Frontline (version #)\Development Tools”.

If the setup was successful, the “FTS Automation Server” window launches and the first message will say “Listening for TCP Client on Port 22901”. See Automation Server Successful Setup Response.
