Figure A-2 Initial Overview screen
When you first start the application, a virtual demo HMC is already installed. Pay with it to get a feeling of how it works and what you will see, but you can also delete it. To add a new HMC, select the plus sign (+). The Add New HMC screen is displayed (Figure A-3).

Here, you type in the connection data for your HMC (Name, IP Address, Username, and Password). Be sure your device can reach your HMC by network (firewall or firewalls). Then, the application tries to connect to your HMC. If the connection is successful you see your HMC on the Overview screen (Figure A-2 on page 555).
Settings
The top of the Overview screen has an icon, which you can use to get to the Settings screen (Figure A-4). On the Settings screen, you specify whether you want to use a password for the myHMC application and if so which password. From this screen, you can also get version information about the application, a short introduction of how to use the application, and the open source licenses for the application.
