Installation and Configuration of the Network Management Server |
[Top] [Previous] [Next] | |
Because Virtual CD NMS is a client/server application, there are two components to install: Virtual CD NMS service and Virtual CD NMS Administration.
To install VCD NMS, place the installation CD in a CD drive and wait a moment for Windows to detect it and open the AutoPlay dialog. If the AutoPlay function is switched off in the computer, or if you are installing from a downloaded file, run the EXE file to start installation.
On the client side, installation of a Virtual CD program version as specified under "System Requirements" is required. You can install Virtual CD on client machines after installing NMS, using the Virtual CD NMS Client Distributor.
In client installations, you need to enter the name of your NMS, specify the port to be used for communication and specify whether the client machine will obtain its Virtual CD user license from Virtual CD NMS or has its own license number stored locally.
Installation and configuration must be carried out in the following order:
| 1. | Install the Virtual CD NMS Service |
| 2. | Install the Virtual CD NMS Administration program (whether on the same computer as the service or on a different machine) |
| 3. | Configure NMS Administration |
| 4. | Configure Virtual CD clients |
