(Optional) Configure the ADES AIM using Node Configuration Utility

Using NodeCfgUtil instead of the user interface is an alternative configuration method for the ADES AIM. Configuring the ADES AIM lets you add, modify, or remove one or more domains that the ADES AIM manages. The NodeCfgUtil creates a configuration file for ADES AIM (esad.cfg), located in the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the SystemEDGE_InstallPath\plugins\AIPCommon directory.
2. Start NodeCfgUtil.exe.
3. Enter an option according to your choice. You can add, modify, or remove a domain. For example, enter 1 to add a new managed node.
4. Enter the number corresponding to the ADES AIM in the Choose Managed Node screen. For example, enter 1 to select the ADES AIM.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the configuration. Each domain requires a valid user name and password for authentication and appropriate management entity and management mode.
6. When the configuration is completed, enter 0 to save the configuration and exit the utility.
7. Restart the SystemEDGE service to apply the changes.
