# Startup and Login

## 1. First startup

1. Start the VRS X service/application.
2. Open the admin panel:
   - default: `http://localhost:8085/admin`
   - if `AdminPort` was changed: `http://<host>:<admin-port>/admin`
3. Complete activation (if required).
4. Set the administrator password.

## 2. If the admin panel does not open

The most common issue is a port conflict.

### Linux

```bash
ss -ltnp | rg ':8085|:5000|:8080'
```

### Windows (PowerShell)

```powershell
Get-NetTCPConnection -State Listen | Where-Object {$_.LocalPort -in 8080,8085,5000}
```

If the port is already in use:
1. Stop the conflicting application.
2. Open the admin panel.
3. Change `Admin Port` to a free port.
4. Save the configuration and restart VRS X.

## 3. Minimal post-install workflow

1. `General Settings` - set core radar options.
2. `Feeds` - add at least one data source.
3. `Server Settings` - configure ports and network access.
4. Restart the service.
5. Verify:
   - `http://<host>:<web-port>/AircraftList.json`
   - `http://<host>:<admin-port>/admin`
