   1. Open the TestArchitect Repository Server - Control Panel by double-clicking on the TestArchitect Repository Server icon on Windows’ notification area.

   2. On the TestArchitect Repository Server - Control Panel main menu, select Tools > TestArchitect Utility Server Information.

   3. If the Start button in the TestArchitect Utility Server Information dialog box is enabled, click it.

2. Start a browser on a machine with network access to the TestArchitect Utility Server and enter the Dashboard’s URL using the follow syntax:

   http://192.168.167.160:54000/TADashboard

   If you are not yet logged in to the Sample Repository, the Dashboard main login page opens in your default browser.
