When you open the NetBackup Appliance Web Console login page and log in as an AMS user, you can access the home page on the Appliance Management Console. This page is displayed after you have configured the appliance role as a media server or a master server.

From the Home page, you can add the appliances that you want to manage (agents). Only NetBackup 3.1 appliances that are configured as a master or a media server can be added.
