The Management Console can be started as part of a RoboServer, but RoboServer may be started either with or without the Management Console If you have already started RoboServer (for example if you have tried one of the other tutorials), you should stop and restart it in the following way to make sure the Management Console is also started.

RoboServer can be stopped in several ways. On Windows, the easiest is to use the "Shut Down RoboServer" item in the Start menu. On Linux and Unix variants, the ShutDownRoboServer program serves the same purpose.

After this, the RoboServer with Management Console must be started. On Windows, use the "RoboServer with Management Console" item in the Start menu. On Linux and Unix variants, use the command line:

This will start RoboServer listening on a socket at port 50000, with an embedded Management Console available via a Web interface on port 50080 (unless you have changed the port using the Settings application).
