and optionally,
•adding ConsoleWorks to the system startup,
•editing templates to customize event and user templates, and
•importing existing Users, Consoles, Scans, Events and/or Databases.
♦note: Technically, ConsoleWorks has created an invocation after this stage of installation is completed. However, the invocation has no configured Ports, Profiles, Users, or Events. These components must be configured to make ConsoleWorks useful.
2)The second stage of installation uses a web browser to add/delete/configure items such as:
•accounts,
•consoles,
•profiles,
•scans,
•events, and
•actions.
2-3. Installation Terms
The following terms are provided as reference. It is recommended these terms be studied in conjunction with the next section in this document: Installation Concepts.
Agent
If the device being managed has Windows NT/2000 as its operating system, that Windows NT or Windows 2000 system requires an agent to gather and transmit its events since Windows does not have a serial con- sole.
Alpha
A host running an Alpha processor as its primary CPU.
CD
Refers to a Compact Disc.
Console
Console refers to a representation created and configured within ConsoleWorks, corresponding to a man- aged device. The console may be physically attached to a device console port or it may be mapped to Syslog events. Privileges are read, write, acknowledge and control.
ConsoleWorks Root Directory
The base directory on the ConsoleWorks server system in which all ConsoleWorks directories reside. On Windows NT/2000, this directory is C:\Program Files\TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server\.
Device Console Port
A Device Console Port is a serial port on a device that is used to manage that device.
Default Files
Default Files are a basic set of files created by ConsoleWorks installation kits when ConsoleWorks is first in- stalled. Those files are subsequently used to make invocation directory trees. Each invocation has its own directory tree based from the ConsoleWorks root directory.
Display
Display refers to a particular Window or Splash Screen displayed during a step in the installation. Screen, Window and Display are used interchangeably in this guide.
