The following directions describe how to install a MegaVision for HP OpenView for MS- Windows. Following that are instructions for adding a device, which is necessary before you can access the device with MegaVision.

Before you install MegaVision software, you must have MS-Windows and HP OpenView for MS-Windows, version 7.1 or higher (including HP OV Professional Suite) installed on the management station.

Under the MS-Windows Program Manager (or File Manager), go to the disk1 folder and run SETUP.EXE from the MegaVision Classic Installation kit. This is a standard MS-Windows installation. Select MegaVision for HP OV option.

When the software has completed the installation, select the OpenView group in the Program Manager window and Run the HP OpenView application. MegaVision starts automatically.

To define a new device with HP OV

1.Select Add from the HP OV Edit menu. The Add window opens.

2.Select Components in the pull-down menu. Scroll down the icon window until the required device icon appears. Choose the icon representing the device you wish to add. (The cursor changes shape.)

3.Drag and drop the device icon to the HP OpenView map window. The device icon is added to the map and a MegaVision Describe window opens. See “Adding and Deleting Devices, Describe Window” section for additional information.

4.Click OK to return to the HP OpenView main window. A submap with the newly defined device icon displays. The device icon in the submap is colored, according to HP OpenView color codes to reflect the current device status. From this point on, the windows are as described for the MegaVision standalone version, with the exception of the submap window. To open the device main window, double-click on the device icon.
