For the operating system and hardware requirements to run the NMS200 Network Management Software, see System Requirements on page 9.

Software

Action

 

 

Cygwin

The NMS200 Network Management Software cannot co-exist with other installations of

 

Cygwin on the same Windows computer.

 

• Do not install the NMS200 Network Management Software where Cygwin is

 

already installed, either separately or as part of another application.

 

• If Cygwin is already installed, remove it before installing this application.

 

 

User access control

Disable user access control if you are installing on Vista, Windows Server 2008, or

 

Windows 7. The installer might halt when pre-existing bash sessions or CMD sessions

 

are open. Close all such sessions.

 

 

Also, make sure your network and the devices on the network are set up correctly. See Network Considerations on page 10.

CAUTION:

Windows also installs Internet Information Services (IIS) —formerly called Internet Information Server. That installation does not turn IIS on by default. Do not enable IIS on the host running NMS200.

Step B: Obtain a Fixed IP Address (if necessary)

The NMS200 Network Management Software has an application server that is required to be installed on a host that has a fixed IP address or a permanently assigned Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) lease.
