Installation and Startup

Installing the ProSafe NMS Server and Local Console

1. Log on to Windows with administrator permission.

2. Insert the ProSafe NMS CD into the computer CD

drive.

3. Use the Windows Start/Run menu and enter

d:\NMSsetup, where d: is the CD drive.

The install program shows a dialog with three
buttons for the installable ProSafe NMS options.
On your main ProSafe NMS system, you only need
to install the Server component, as this includes a
local console and polling agent.

4. Click the Server button.

You are prompted for the installation directory.
Then the Discovery Seed dialog is displayed. You
must enter valid information at this dialog or
network discovery will not work properly.

5. Enter the IP Address of an SNMP Seed Device on

your network, preferably a router.

6. Enter the Subnet Mask for the Seed Device.

7. Enter the SNMP V1 Read Community for the seed

device.

The install program installs ProSafe NMS on your hard drive.

8. After the installation is complete, log off Windows and restart your computer.
