Once Java was installed, I logged on to the Controller and completed the configuration by telling the Controller about the Manager and entering the Manager's IP address and registration code. At that point, the Controller and Manager were communicating.
I used only one Manager in my tests, but NexVu says there is no limit to the number of Managers a Controller can manage. The practical limitation depends on the number of system admins simultaneously using the Controller: The more people
hitting the unit, the slower it runs. Additionally, one Controller can oversee other Controllers, so you can set up hierarchies. The Controller cannot correlate flows from a machine under one Manager's purview to a machine under another Manager's purview, but NexVu says
it expects to add that feature to the software's next release.
The Command Center program displays the Controller and Manager in a tree structure. Clicking on either led me to a screen with hierarchical tabs covering the configuration, reports, status and tools. Additionally, each tab had subtabs. It took me about half a day to get used to the tab motif--it is not terribly intuitive.
