Specifications

The NetSight Automated Security Manager Installer leads you through a series of windows that ask
you for all the information required in order to install Automated Security Manager. You will need
the following information to complete the Installer Program:
Client/Server or Client−only Install −− You will need to select whether you are installing a
Client−only or Client and Server version of Automated Security Manager.
Client−only − This will install the Automated Security Manager client on the system.
No server or database components will be installed. This requires that an Automated
Security Manager Client and Server has been installed on another system with an
Enterasys NetSight Console 2.2 Server.
•
Client and Server − This requires that an Enterasys NetSight Console 2.2 Server
already be installed on the system. This provides the server and database components
for the Automated Security Manager features to integrate with Enterasys NetSight
Console 2.2. An Automated Security Manager client will also be installed on this
system.
•
•
License Text −− You will need to enter the license text that you received when you generated
the Automated Security Manager license. (When you purchased Automated Security
Manager, you received a Licensed Product Entitlement ID that allows you to generate a
product license. You must generate the license prior to installing Automated Security
Manager. Refer to the instructions included with the Entitlement ID that was sent to you.)
•
Destination Directory −− This is the path to your Automated Security Manager Installation
Directory. In the Destination Directory window, click Browse to navigate to the directory, or
type the path in manually. The Installer will add the NetSight Automated Security Manager
directory to the end of the path.

When you have finished with this series of windows, Automated Security Manager will be installed
according to your specifications. You are now ready to launch Automated Security Manager.
