Learn about server and database connections

After a PI AF Client installation, an administrator needs to configure a PI AF server for general use. Configuration includes the following tasks:

• Connect to a PI AF server and set up a default.

• Set up PI AF identities.

• Map Windows user accounts to one or more PI AF identities.

• Select a default Data Archive, if one was not selected during PI AF Client installation.

• Create (or import) PI AF databases.

• Specify PI System Explorer connection preferences, if PI AF collectives are defined.

• Configure access permissions for identities to the PI AF Client server and databases. For more information, see Understand PI AF security.
