•Before beginning the basic configuration of your BBSM Hotspot server, be sure to determine if any service packs or patches need to be installed. We recommend that you install all available service packs and patches to maximize the functionality of your BBSM Hotspot server. For instructions on performing these installations, refer to Chapter 4, “System Operation.”
Do not change the Windows 2000 computer name of your BBSM Hotspot server, because the BBSM Hotspot MSDE database has the name embedded in the application. Changing the name breaks MSDE functionality, and you will see SQL server errors reported on your BBSM Hotspot server. This problem is a Microsoft issue and not one that the Cisco software team can change.
We recommend using the latest version of Internet Explorer to perform functions accessed through the BBSM Hotspot Dashboard.
When running the wizards, making any changes to BBSM Hotspot, or rebooting the BBSM Hotspot server, make sure that there are no active sessions. The Client Deactivation tool, located on the Dashboard, can be used to deactivate any active sessions.
