SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance Quick Start Guide
1. Introduction to SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance
After you receive the Black Box SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance on a CD, you need to unzip the files and install SmartPath
EMS VMA Virtual Appliance on your computer. In case you are not familiar with VMware*, it allows you to run a
virtual server inside your existing computer. It is like having your computer and a server connected internally through a virtual
Layer 2 switch. The virtual server shares the Ethernet connection of the host computer when you select “Bridge Mode” for the
Virtual Ethernet connection. This also means that the virtual server must be configured to be on the same subnet as the host
computer before it can access the LAN.
*NOTE: This Quick Start assumes that you will run SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance on either VMware Workstation or
VMware Player. However, SmartPath EMS VMA Virtual Appliance can be converted to work on other VMware products
using the VMware Converter. For more information, consult the numerous technical support resources that VMware
offers on its website: www.vmware.com.
IMPORTANT: When running VMware, the virtual server sometimes attempts to share the wireless connection of the host
computer instead of its LAN connection. Therefore, before you start the virtual server, make sure the wireless
connection on your host computer is disabled or disconnected so that the virtual server will find the LAN card first.
