# Access to MBeans

You can use JConsole to inspect and use the MBeans.

To connect to the JBoss EAP server using JConsole, open a command prompt and type the following command :

For Linux: JDK_HOME/bin/jconsole
For Windows: JDK_HOME\bin\jconsole.exe

Select the local org.jboss.modules.Main process and click Connect. You are presented with the following screen.

To test the MBeans :

1. Click on the JConsole MBeans tab.
2. Expand `quickstarts` in the left column of the console.
3. Under `quickstarts`, you see the 4 MBeans: `AnnotatedComponentHelloWorld`, `MXComponentHelloWorld`, `MXPojoHelloWorld`, and `SarMXPojoHelloWorld`
4. Expand each MBean and choose: `Operations` --> `sayHello`.
5. Type your name in the (p0 String ) input text box and click the sayHello button.
6. You will see a popup Window displaying Hello `<your name>`!.
