How to Stop and Start
NetSight Services
When you install Inventory Manager, you have the option of enabling NetSight versions of TFTP and BOOTP
(Windows only) services. (See NetSight Services for a description of each service.) When you enable a
NetSight service, it runs in the background on the workstation. The service starts automatically by default, and
if you shut down and restart the workstation, the service is restarted automatically.
After you've installed Inventory Manager, you can use the Tools > Options Services for NetSight Server or
Services for NetSight Client views to enable or disable the automatic launch of these services. For example, if
you did not enable the TFTP service when you installed, you can use the Services view to enable the
automatic startup of the TFTP service.
In addition, there may be times when you want to stop or restart the services manually. For Windows users,
NetSight provides a Services Manager that shows you which of the services are running, and lets you stop,
start, or restart them individually or all at once. You can also stop and start the Services Manager itself.
The instructions below explain how to stop and start the NetSight services and the Services Manager
manually.
