|AC_HEADING| Setup
==================

Domain Setup
============

.. |IMG_PREF| image:: ../../_static/administration/branding/icons/preferences.png

|AC| uses |CONNEXT| to communicate with other RTI services
and |CONNEXT| processes. When first started, |AC| will ask if you
want to automatically or manually join domains. It is recommended to
use auto join as you go through this Getting Started guide. You can adjust
this setting in the 
:ref:`section-administration-preferences-dialog` dialog with this toolbar
button: |IMG_PREF|

RTI Services Setup
==================

To use |RTI_AC| with other RTI Services: administration, distributed logging, and
monitoring (if supported) should be enabled. This guide will use
configurations available through *RTI Launcher*, 
which already enable these features.

Troubleshooting |AC_HEADING|
============================

If troubleshooting is necessary, you can view the |AC| logs by selecting the
menu **View-> Show Console Log**

By default, the full log file is in *"<My Documents>/rti_workspace/<product version>
/user_config/admin_console /admin_console.log"* on Windows systems, and in
*"~/rti_workspace/<product version>/user_config/admin_console/admin_console.log"* on
Linux and macOS systems. 

For other known issues with |AC|, see the :ref:`section-release-notes`.
