Installing the Air Messenger Pro Paging Software

ProSafe NMS includes a copy of the Air Messenger Pro paging application. This software is required if you want ProSafe NMS to page you when an event occurs. Air Messenger Pro is not installed as part of the regular ProSafe NMS installation.

To install Air Messenger Pro, use the Windows Start/Programs/NETGEAR ProSafe NMS/Install Air Messenger Pro menu. Follow the installation instructions.

After you have installed Air Messenger Pro you can configure ProSafe NMS to notify your pager when an event occurs. Please refer to “Emailing or Paging the Administrator on an Event” for further instructions.

Starting the ProSafe NMS Server and Local Console

To control ProSafe NMS tasks, you must be logged on to Windows with administrator permission.

After installation of the ProSafe NMS Server component, you are prompted to reboot the Windows system.

When the system has rebooted and you log on to Windows, the ProSafe NMS Server and Console applications automatically start and you are automatically logged on.
