Completing the following pre-installation checklist before installing Network Monitor is recommended.
Estimate the memory required by Network Monitor to monitor the number of devices on your network, using the recommendations in Server Sizing. Ensure the system hosting the Network Monitor server has enough free memory to run Network Monitor.
Check that the system hosting the Network Monitor server meets all software and hardware requirements.
If you choose to use a specified Windows account instead of the default (local system), ensure the Windows account used by the Network Monitor service has sufficient privileges.
If ODBC logging is going to be enabled, create a ODBC system data source on the Network Monitor host machine.
If a GSM phone is used, install it and verify that it responds correctly to standard AT commands in a terminal program.
When completed you are ready to install Network Monitor. After installing Network Monitor and connecting to the web interface for the first time, consult the topic Running the KNM Startup Guide.
