Typical examples for an installation running on a server called 'epmserver' on port 8998 would be:

Web Browser Interface: http://epmserver:8998/PWA

Project Server Web Services (PSI) Interface: http://epmserver:8998/PWA/_vti_bin/psi/project.asmx

PIAB requires the PSI Interface URL for reading Microsoft Project plan data from the server.
