: $ 3.2.4   Starting the Web Interface

(îIt is not necessary to have the Director running on your machine in order to use Compaq Analyze. In fact, WEBES need not be installed on the browser's machine at all. However, WEBES must be installed and the Director must be running on the target machine in order to connect to its Compaq Analyze system. Therefore, before using the web interface, you must ensure the Director is started on the target machine. There is no need to run the Director on your local machine unless it is the target.
c
,(UChapter 1 describes web interface connections further._
