Please ensure your system is ready to deploy Faddom by checking the Installation Prerequisites. Then follow these 4 simple steps to ramp-up quickly.

1. Download

Connect to Faddom's support website (https://download.faddom.com/) and download the latest Server installation – “Faddom Discover Server--Setup.exe”, or the virtual appliance “Faddom Discover Server Appliance - .ova”. The server installation already includes the sensor installation files

​2. Deploy

Install the Faddom Server on a Windows server (not on your desktop/laptop), or deploy the Virtual
Appliance Server (Faddom Server VA) to a VMWare ESX host.

For further information see How to Deploy Faddom for a full list of guides on how to enable network traffic and deploy in your environment.

​3. Login

  • To access the Faddom Web UI, use HTTPS://<Faddom-Server> from a browser. Chrome browser is recommended.

  • To login to the UI for the first time:

    • Linux – You will be required to define the password for the administrator user the first time that you connect to the UI

    • Windows – When installing on Windows, the UI uses the integrated Windows authentication. The user that will have access to the UI after the installation is the user that ran the installer.​

4. Configure

Follow the on-screen getting started guide to set up your environment for mapping or any additional assistance or questions, please visit our help center at https://support.faddom.com/hc/en-us
