Digi 90031300 manual Software Installation for Windows NT Systems

Software Installation for Windows NT Systems

Software installation and configuration for a Windows NT system involves the following steps:

1.Install and configure the EPC/X Windows NT device driver on the host system (the system to which the T1 Modem Banks are directly connected).

2.Optionally install the Windows NT SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) service on the host system. If you plan to remotely manage the T1 Modem Bank via SNMP, install the SNMP service on the host prior to installing the management software.

3.Optionally install Windows NT RAS (Remote Access Service) on the host system. If you will be using RAS, it should be installed on the host system prior to installing the management software.

4.Install the management software on the host system.

5.Optionally install the management software (QuickManager portion) on remote systems located on your network. Remote systems must be running Windows NT or Windows 95. Windows 95 remote systems can manage only Windows NT Server based host systems.
