The Connexion user interface (UI) allows you to easily manage the configuration and operation of the Connexion integration engine. By default, the UI will be installed during the installation of the integration engine. The UI must be installed on each additional computer on which you wish to administer Connexion.

Configuring Connexion
During installation, the Configuration Wizard will be displayed. The configuration wizard requires you to input license information, service and database accounts, and network settings critical to the Connexion service. The Configuration wizard is installed as a separate application which can be run to re-configure Connexion after installation has completed.
...
Once a valid license key is entered, proceed to the next step.
Database Installation Credentials
Enter the target SQL Server instance name or address and windows or SQL Server credentials which have SysAdmin privileges in the target SQL Server instance. These credentials will only be used to install the Connexion database and add the default Connexion user (if required).
Service Credentials
Choose the account which the Connexion service will be run under. We recommend using the default option (__cxn_usr__ account) as this account has limited privileges and is therefore more secure than the Local System account. For operations which require elevated permissions, the Connexion service can impersonate other user accounts.
Database Credentials
Choose the account which the Connexion service will use to connect to the Connexion database during normal operation. By default, the service credentials specified in the previous step will be used.
Options
Update the port used for communications between the service and the UI, set the change tracking behavior, and specify which users and/or groups will be allowed to connect to the service using the UI.

Clicking the next button will run each configuration task, displaying a summary of any warnings or errors. If the configuration wizard was launched by the installer, then clicking next will return control to the installer, otherwise clicking next will exit the configuration application.
Initial Startup
Connecting to the service
After installation, launch the user interface via the desktop icon or start menu (or it will be launched automatically by the installer). The UI will attempt to connect to the Connexion integration engine on the port specified during configuration. If the connection is successful, it should appears as follows:

Ensure that the domain field is populated with either the target machine's domain, or the target machine NETBIOS name.
Configure Email Settings
We recommend that you click the 'Administrator Email Settings Missing' link which will take you to the settings screen. Errors and important notifications will be sent to the email addresses you specify.
...
We also recommend that you click the 'Database Backup Not Configured' link to configure the database backup settings. The database backup is important because it includes maintenance routines which help keep Connexion running efficiently. You will need to enter user credentials will sufficient privileges to write the backup to the hard drive.
