read, write, and execute within the installation directory.
Insert the NetSight Automated Security Manager CD into the CD drive.1.
Use an xterm where you are logged in as root.

encounter a Java exception during the install upon becoming the root user. Be sure that
your system's root environment has a proper DISPLAY variable setting. For more
information see the above note.

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.
