After installing FlowTraq, it is important to take a few administrative steps:
Log in for the first time.
Install a license key.
Change the default administrator password.
To access the FlowTraq user interface, point your browser at the hostname or IP address of the server that is hosting the Web portal. Usually this is the IP address that was assigned to the vApp. The default username and password for a newly installed FlowTraq sever is admin/admin.
New FlowTraq server installations default to a "demo" mode that accepts up to 5 flow updates per second. This is not very much, but it allows you to validate that your FlowTraq serve is operational. To remove the flow handling limit you must install a valid license key.
