To enable this demo mode follow these steps:

  - In the notification area (in the taskbar), right-click on the DHD Operation Server icon and select ''OPEN''.
  - On the ''Administration'' menu, click ''Server Preferences''.
  - On the ''General'' tab, select the ''Run Server in  DemoMode'' check box. Click ''OK''.
  - On the ''Administration'' menu, click ''Data & Devices''.
  - Click ''Add device''.
  - Select ''Toolbox Project File'' and select your Toolbox config file.
  - In the ''Select Device'' list, select the device, which do you want to use for routings. Click ''OK''.
  - The device shows up in the ''Device'' window. Click ''OK''.
  - Start DHD Operation Manager software.
  - In the ''Logon to'' list, select your device. Click ''OK''.
  - On the ''File'' menu, click ''Login''.

**Note**\\  Basically, you can use all commands of the software in demo mode as if you are connected to the device. But some functions/displays require an interaction with the device. That is why some options of the DHDOM are not usable in demo mode or are only executed/shown in a simplified way. However, the settings are only saved local and will not be sent into the network.

In the title of the DHDOS and DHDOM windows, you can find an information that the software is running in demo mode.
