“Quick Start” Registration Guide for

Step 1: See if your organization is already a CISN Display user:

http://www.cisn.org/software/login/displayAllOrgs.php

Look over the registered organizations; if your group is listed, call or send an e-mail to the “local administrator” to obtain a “registration code”. If your organization is not listed proceed to Step 3.

Step 2: Create a “CISN Display user account” using a “registration code”:

http://www.cisn.org/software/login/enterRegcode.php

A valid “registration code”, whether provided by your local-admin, or received automatically when you registered your organization, will allow a new user to create an individual account by going to the above link. When “user account” creation is completed, proceed to Step 4 to get the software.

Step 3: Register as a new organization by opening a Web browser to:

http://www.cisn.org/software/login/createOrg.php?

Provide all the information requested, hit “create” and follow the registration instructions. Within 1-2 working days you’ll receive a response from a CISN administrator. If approved, return to Step 2.

Step 4: Login and make sure you have JAVA! (using your new account info)

Once you are logged in, click on “CISN Display Client Software”. At the CISN Display download page, check to make sure you have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.4.X or higher installed. To download the latest version of Java click on the link: http://java.com/en (It’s free!). Note: installation of new software sometimes requires administrative privileges on the host machine. If any part of the installation fails, contact your local systems administrator for assistance. If you do have Java 1.4 or higher, click “Interactive Cross-Platform Installer Programs” link and go to Step 5.

Step 5: Download and Install the CISN Display software:

Click the “Start Installer for Windows” bar near the top of the screen and begin download of the software. Follow the instructions as outlined in the installation shield. Once complete, launch the application, enter your user-account username/password (not the local-admin account) and check the lower-right corner for a green status light that indicates a good connection to a QuakeWatch Server. There should be no need to specify a server address; the client comes preconfigured with one.

Step 6: Refer to the CISN Display User’s Guide to learn more about customizing your user-interface settings… every organization should do this!
