20 CHAPTER 1: GETTING STARTED
Installing the MIBs into HP OpenView is optional. The MIBs give you
access to low-level statistics and control of your 3Com devices. However,
you may decide not to install the MIB collection to save time during the
install, since the MIBs can take up to an hour to install.
Activation Once you have installed 3Com Network Administrator, you will have a
60-day grace period within which to activate your software. When you
launch 3Com Network Administrator for the first time the About dialog
will be displayed as shown in Figure 3
:
