Figure 82. Choice of TME 10 NetFinity Client

5.The following are the different types of clients that you can install. Figure 82 depicts what the options are.

•Stand-alone client

The stand-alone client can only perform TME 10 NetFinity functions locally and has no network interface support installed. This means that the network administrator has no access to this workstation over the LAN using TME 10 NetFinity.

•Passive client

The passive client can′t perform most of the TME 10 NetFinity functions locally. Only the TME 10 NetFinity services for the alert, security manager and for the serial control are available. For the other services, it can only respond and react to requests from a TME 10 NetFinity manager.

•Active client

The active client can perform all TME 10 NetFinity services locally. It also can react to requests from a TME 10 NetFinity manager over the LAN.

If you are installing TME 10 NetFinity services on your server, you would normally install the active client code. This will allow you to do perform NetFinity functions on the server directly. You may choose to install TME 10 NetFinity Manager instead.

6.You will see a window that shows you the actual status of the installation in progress. If you are installing from diskette, you will be prompted to insert the additional diskettes.

7.If you are installing either an active or passive client (that is, not

stand-alone), you are prompted to configure the TME 10 NetFinity client. This definition is described in detail in 6.4, ªTME 10 NetFinity Configurationº on page 112.
