Setting Up the SNMP Agent, ASR, and Console
Redirection for Windows NT

To use the HP Remote Assistant agents and ASR service, you must have already set up
your Windows NT server with TCP/IP and SNMP Services.

NOTE

TCP/IP and SNMP Services are available with the standard Windows NT
product. Make sure that you've set up SNMP services through the Windows
Control Panel: Network application. Be sure to include the community name
and trap destination address of your remote management console. In
Windows NT 3.51, SNMP is part of the "TCP/IP Protocol and related
components" item you see when you click the Add Software button.

To install the HP NSA agent and ASR software, do the following from your Windows
NT server:

1. Log into Windows NT with administrator privileges. You need to be the system

administrator, or have an account that belongs to the administrator group.

2. Insert the disk labeled HP Remote Assistant Server Diskette into a floppy drive on

the server (for example, drive A:).

3. From the Main program group, double-click the DOS Command Prompt icon. At

the DOS command prompt, change to the A:\NT directory and type:

install

The installation process may take a few minutes. You are then provided with the
following options:

1.Automatic Server Restart

2.SNMP Agent

3.NT Console Redirection

Make selections relative to desired functions including ASR, NT Redirection and
SNMP.

4. After the install routine is finished, restart your system by performing a Windows

NT shutdown with the Restart option checked.

NOTE

Do not restart by turning the system off and on.

5. After the system has restarted, it automatically loads and starts the ASRSRVC and

NT redirection services. If you prefer not to have the system automatically start the
service, use the Control Panel/Services dialog in the Windows NT program.
