• You will need the following information to successfully complete this installation and use CrossFire Commander:
  1. User ID = xfmdacc
  2. Password = rgr-p95d
  3. Group name = MD-ANDER
  4. host address = crossfire-acad.elsevier.com
• While CrossFire Commander will function under earlier versions of Mac OS, the help files only work under Mac OS 9.

1. Launch the installer.
2. If previous versions of Commander were installed and you are attempting to install it in the same location, you will be warned that the contents of the old folder will be erased.
3. The installer will copy the files and then allow you to quit the installer. When the installer has finished copying files, you will be asked for your Group Name. Enter it in the space provided and hit OK.
4. Launch MDL CrossFire Commander and then initiate a session by clicking on the red cross arrows icon.
5. You will get a MDL Crossfire Server Profiles dialog box. Select New..
6. You will now get a MDL Crossfire Server Profile dialog box. All settings are the default except for Host: crossfire-acad.elsevier.com
7. Click on the Communication Tab and check to be sure the Port is set to XFIRE and the Port Number is 8001.
8. After making the changes above click on OK. You will be asked to give your profile a name. Type the name in the Create CrossFire Profile field and click on Save and then OK.
9. You will get a MDL Crossfire Server Profiles dialog box. Select the profile you just created and then click on OK.
10. The last item to complete is putting in the user id and password. When prompted, enter the user id and password - all in lower case. If you don't want to be prompted for the user id and password each time you use Commander, you can select the box to remember the user id and password. Since this requires a change to the profile, you will be prompted for the profile password - not to be confused with the password for your campus user id. If you didn't assign one, hit OK.
