3. Pre-Installation

This section contains information on the fundamentals required for installation.

Note: 1) When installing the ConsoleWorks Server on Windows an error will be displayed if you try to install V1.5 when a previous version is installed. You must uninstall the previous version before attempting to install V1.5.

2)the ConsoleWorks directory structure for Version 1.5-0 is significantly different from Version 1.4-0. The base directory for Version 1.4-0 was C:\Cwks where there base directory for Version 1.5-0 is C:\Program Files \TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server.

3-1. Host System Criticality and ConsoleWorks Exclusivity

ConsoleWorks' primary function is to monitor the health and status of chosen devices, at all times. As a moni- toring application, ConsoleWorks requires unobstructed access to host system resources at all times. It is the strongest recommendation that ConsoleWorks be hosted on a dedicated, independent machine. Interfer- ence from other applications, for example email or printer server support, may interrupt support at critical times, delaying and possibly precluding recovery efforts.

3-2. Host Operating Systems Supported

ConsoleWorks is written for hosting on OpenVMS, Unix and Windows platforms. This guide is the manual for the Windows platform hosts running the following (or later) versions: Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or Win- dows 2000 (right click on the My Computer icon and choose Properties to verify current version of the operat- ing system).

note: ConsoleWorks can run under its own account or under the Administrator account.

3-3. ConsoleWorks is available on CD ROM or from the Internet

ConsoleWorks is available on CD ROM or the latest version can be downloaded from the TDi website at http:// www.tditx.com/. Contact TDi to obtain ConsoleWorks in another format.

3-4. Product Authorization Key (PAK) is required

A Product Authorization Key (PAK) is not required for installation, but is required to activate a ConsoleWorks in- vocation. TDi will supply the appropriate permanent license with receipt of a purchase order. A temporary demo license may be downloaded from the same place the ConsoleWorks kit was downloaded.
