System Requirements

Requirements for Intel

You need a PC with the following minimum requirements to run Intel

Device View under

Device View:

Windows

Microsoft Windows NT workstation or server, version 4.0, or

 

 

Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98.

 

(Windows NT 4.0 English language version workstation recom-

 

mended.)

 

A network adapter installed.

 

30 MB of free hard disk space.

 

A color display with 800 x 600 resolution and 256 colors.

 

The Microsoft IP protocol must be installed and configured

 

before installation of Intel Device View.

DHCP limitation

Three important things to know:

 

Do not use a PC running Windows NT server (with its DHCP

 

server installed) to run Intel Device View.

 

Ensure the IP address for the PC is not changed by the DHCP

 

server.

 

PCs that use a network management system that uses BootP,

 

DHCP or SNMP Trap Receiving, may have their network man-

 

agement system disabled by Intel Device View.

Management PC

To manage the switch from a PC connected directly to the switch, the

restrictions

PC must not use frame tagging. To manage the switch from a PC with

 

IEEE 802.1Q tagged frames, management must be through a device

 

which untags the frames.

Requirements for Intel Device View on the Web server

You need a PC with the following minimum requirements to run Intel Device View:

One of the following running: Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server with Internet Information Server (IIS) 2.0 or later; or Windows NT Workstation with Peer Web Services.

30 MB of free hard disk space.

The Microsoft IP protocol must be installed and configured before installation of Intel Device View.
