# Starting an Application

#### ***Applies to version(s): v2.7, v2.8.***

In order to be able to load and start an application, it will need to have been installed on the Toolpack application server. In addition, at least one Tmedia unit must have been configured on the Toolpack application server so that you are able to connect to it.

When you first log on to the Web Portal, your system application will have been installed on the Toolpack application server, and it will be in a management state. This means that the application is not yet operating and controlling your system. In order to start an application, its state must be changed from Management to Run.

**To start an application:**

1. Select **Applications** from the navigation panel.

2. Click the **Status** tab. Select the application that you wish to start/stop and click on its name.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/configuration/starting-an-application.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
