Connectivity settings
Once the service is up and running, you will be able to configure it to accept incoming connections. A dedicated guide is available to help you configure your service after installation.
Testing the service
When the service is running and accepting incoming connections, the next step is to access the service. The common way to do so is to use MongoDB® Compass to connect to the service, following this guide.
If MongoDB® Compass is not your preferred method, read these other guides to connect to the service :
