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
