Note: For trial purposes, you can rely on a dynamic IP address assignment with a long lease, but NETGEAR does not recommend this approach for production installations.

To obtain a fixed IP address, consult with your network administrator or Windows help if you have questions.

Step C: Install the Full NMS200 Software

The full NMS200 Network Management Software contains both the application server and Web server.

Note: This software is a Java application. Virtual memory use increases when you install it. This is normal. If you monitor memory use over time it might appear that memory use is growing. This is a normal function of Java’s memory management.

To install and start the NMS200 software:

1.Unzip (decompress) the NETGEAR.w.x.y.z.zip file if you downloaded the application in

.zip format, and close any applications that might interfere with this installation. Otherwise, insert the CD into the CD drive and open its associated directory.

Be aware of the following requirements when selecting user names for the installation:

•Install as a non-root user with the permission to create directories in the selected installation target path. Installing to a directory that requires root-level access fails.
