36CHAPTER 5: DYNAMICACCESS

Using DynamicAccess Software Version 1.5 with the Edge Monitor System

The Edge Monitor System operates as described in the Transcend dRMON Edge Monitor System User Guide. Follow the instructions in the Release Notes and the user guide.

The new software for the end nodes should be installed according to the instructions included in the file on the disk. The following issues, in addition to the installation instructions, must be observed for a successful installation:

If you have already installed the DynamicAccess software version 1.5 on your end nodes and now plan to install the Transcend dRMON Edge Monitor System, do not install the dRMON SmartAgent software from the CD on to your end nodes. You only need to ensure that the password you set for the end nodes with KEYSET.EXE matches the password you use for your Edge Monitor.

Do not install the DynamicAccess software version 1.5 on the PC where you install the Edge Monitor. The data reported by the Edge Monitor will be inaccurate because it will track its own traffic statistics twice.

If you install DynamicAccess software on a PC running Windows NT Server, the dRMON software that collects statistics is inactive. To activate the dRMON collection, change the value of the following registry REG_DWORD from 0 to 1 with Regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\ DAPassThru<n>\Parameters\

This is the same behavior as the dRMON SmartAgent software behavior, but the registry key is different.

You cannot use the Auto-Update utility with the new client DynamicAccess software. A replacement utility will be available at the next release of the Edge Monitor.

Do not install the dRMON SmartAgent software that ships on the CD on a PC that has the DynamicAccess software installed.
