CAUTION:
This software supports installation only on the local file system. Avoid
installing to shared drives.
Protocols
The network managament software uses the following protocols: TCP/IP, SNMP, HTTP/S,
UDP Multicast.
Fixed IP Address
The network managament software includes a web server and must be installed on a host
with a fixed IP address or a permanently assigned Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP)
lease. For trial purposes, you can rely on a dynamic IP address assignment with a long lease,
but this is not recommended for production installations.
If you do change your host’s IP address:
To accommodate a changed IP address, first delete the contents of \oware\temp . Change
your local IP address anywhere it appears in
\owareapps\installprops\lib\installed.properties . Then restart your machine.
Alternatively, in a shell, after running oware to set the environment, you can run
ipaddresschange -n followed by the new IP address to which you want to change.
Updating Your License
If you have a limited license — for example NETGEAR® ProSafe® NMS200 Network
Management Software by default limits discovery to five devices — then your application
does not function outside those licensed limits. If you purchase additional licenses, put the
updated license file in a convenient directory, then use the Settings > Permissions > Register
License menu item to open a file browser. Locate the license file, and click the Register
License button. Your updated license should be visible in Settings > Permissions > View
Licenses. Go to www.netgear.com/nms200 for more information on licenses.
Note: You must also re-register licenses if you have updated your
installation from a previous version where you previously upgraded
licenses. In any case, you must restart the application server or wait
up to 15 minutes before a license modification is effective. If you
import a license that, for example, changes the application’s
expiration date, it does not immediately take effect. You must restart
the application server or wait at least 15 minutes.
If you license new features, you must restart the application server and client.
