Note The management server is sometimes called the Database server. The presentation server is sometimes
called the client, GUI, or Application server. To avoid confusion, this document uses Management server
and Presentation server consistently, and these terms describe the machines in a distributed
configuration, not the software that resides on them.
Note Cisco MGC Node Manager supports ten simultaneous X terminal users, depending on your processing
resources, network size, and the version of Cisco EMF you are running.
