Systems targeted for running a ConsoleWorks invocation are required to support the minimum disk space re- quirements shown in Table 4.
RAM requirements
A minimum of 128MBytes of operating system RAM is recommended. RAM requirements are installation type dependent. Requirements are affected by quantity and activity level of devices monitored by ConsoleWorks in addition to the amount required by the scan files which will be loaded.
CPU requirements
ConsoleWorks minimum recommended CPU is the Intel 450 MHz Pentium class processor.

Table 4. Hard Disk Requirements
ConsoleWorks is written to be hosted on a machine running Windows NT with Service Pack 3 or later in- stalled or Windows 2000.
TCP/IP running on host
Hosting platforms must be running TCP/IP. ConsoleWorks requires a TCP/IP address that it will use for listen- ing. The default for ConsoleWorks is to listen to all the interfaces on the ConsoleWorks host (0.0.0.0). The TCP address for ConsoleWorks to listen to is configurable after installation is complete.
TCP/IP port requirement
The ConsoleWorks invocation requires a TCP/IP port on the host machine. By default, ConsoleWorks instal- lations use port 5176. The port number is configurable after installation is complete.
3-8. Administrator Account Privileges are Required
The installation procedure creates the ConsoleWorks directory tree. This requires the installer to be logged into the Administrator account (or another fully privileged account) when performing the installation. Console- Works installation will fail if not installed from an Administrator account, however, once installed ConsoleWorks can be run under a
3-9. Ongoing Disk Space Requirements
Ongoing disk space requirements are installation dependent. Requirements are affected by quantity of and activity level of devices monitored by ConsoleWorks.
Each device may produce require different amounts of data which precludes recommending a single quan- tity of disk space for all installations. It is recommended that the daily log file sizes be reviewed periodically in order to predict future disk space usage. Each addition of a device to the ConsoleWorks invocation warrants
Further, it is recommended that ConsoleWorks log files, which are text files, be archived or deleted based on the user’s criteria. Installers can contact TDi for details and allocation recommendations.
3-10. Web Browser Requirements
Netscape Navigator 4.7 or Internet Explorer 4.0 for Intel systems or Internet Explorer 4.5 for Macintosh systems (or later) web browsers are required to complete the configuration of the installed elements.
