Introduction
NM is an acronym for Network Manager Software (Catalog No.
2708–NNM). The program runs on a PC compatible computer, and provides
network management and data collection for a network of workstations. The
latest version, NM V5.0, provides instant help, menu driven configuration
files, file lookup services, a transport layer protocol, and program
development aids.
NM is highly configurable, allowing it to be used in a wide variety of
applications. By restricting access to configuration and direct interaction
functions, NM can be configured as an end–user data collector. By adding
access to data processing programs, NM can be used as a command shell for
systems integrators using workstation networks.
Before installing NM onto the hard disk, make a working copy of the release
diskette by using either the DOS DISKCOPY or COPY commands. Store the
original in a safe location.
To install NM onto your hard disk, place the working copy in either the A: or
B: floppy drive. If you are using the A drive, type the following commands.
Change to B: if using B drive.
A:
INSTALL C
In this example, C is the hard drive where you want NM installed. You may
use D, E, or any other valid drive name. NM will now be installed in a
directory named \ NM in the root directory of the hard drive you specified.
