Dream Console User's Guide

![]() |
The Console can be used to inspect a DRM group, that is an unbounded number of machines considering themselves members of this group. The default group is named 'default', and for the time being it is safe to forget about groups and assume your computer is also in this group. We are going to discuss the window layout of the Console now, because you have to know which information can be found where to inspect the Dream.
If you have started a console and nothing much happens despite from output from the messages task, this means that you are probably not connected to a DRM (Distributed Resource Machine) group. In this case, the leftmost field of the main toolbar (marked with 'DRM:') holds the text 'not connected'.
For connecting, you have two options: either you just try to a predefined DRM group using the default settings, or you use the connection dialog which gives you a lot of options and the possibility to change the default settings.
If you just want to connect and not to change any settings, please
activate the menu item )
of the main toolbar. For most users, the default setting will be ok.
