Create Your Segment (Task 6)

It is important to give some thought to how you will go about configuring a segment in AMS. If you have not already done so, it may be helpful to review the

Getting Started Guide.

Logging in to Configurator

To get started, open your Configurator module. You can access it via the icon on your desktop or from the Windows Start Menu (Programs>Stanley Security Solutions).

The Wi-Q AMS splash screen appears briefly, then the Login dialog box opens.

Selecting the Database Connection

When you start up AMS, the system defaults to the database installed on the Host computer. If for some reason your database resides on a computer other than the one running AMS, you must select the database before you login.

To select a database on a different computer

1 From the File menu, select Select database connection from the drop-down list.
