2 Cisco netManager 1.0 Overview
Cisco netManager 1.0 is a data and IP communications network monitoring solution that provides standards-based monitoring of network devices, services, or applications on TCP/IP and Windows. You can use Cisco netManager 1.0 to visualize, monitor, diagnose, and report the data status of your IP communications deployment.
Cisco netManager 1.0 lets you initiate monitoring of devices in your network and execute actions based on device state changes, so you can identify network failures before they become catastrophic.
Licensing
Cisco netManager features software-based product registration and license key technologies. Licensing ensures that you possess a licensed copy of Cisco netManager 1.0.
Note Licensing uses node-locking technology. The license file can only be used with the MAC address that you supply.
Understanding Licensing Terms
Table 1 describes the Product Authorization Key (PAK), the license file, and the usage of these terms.
Table 1 Understanding the PAK and the License File
Licensing Terms DescriptionPAK
The PAK is printed on the software claim certificate. Use the PAK and the MAC address of the server where Cisco netManager is installed to get your license file from Cisco.com. You may obtain and install your license file at any time while you are working on Cisco netManager, not only at the time you install the product. The Cisco netManager license file includes support for up to 100 data devices, 100 wireless access points and 500 phones (when upgrading to include voice features).
You can purchase incremental licenses for additional device support. For each incremental license that you purchase, you will receive a PAK, and you must use that PAK to obtain a license file. Cisco netManager can support up to a maximum of 100 data devices, 100 wireless access points, and 1,000 phones, depending on the number and type of licenses purchased.

To register your PAK and get your license file, go to the product licensing area of Cisco.com:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to autopopulate many of the product registration fields. Login is case sensitive.
You can upgrade and purchase any of the following license options:
Cisco netManager - IP Infrastructure License Options
a. 50 devices, 50 wireless access points — permanent license

Configuring Your System for SNMP Queries
Cisco netManager implements the system application MIB. If you want to use a third-party SNMP management tool to make SNMP queries against the server where Cisco netManager is installed, Windows SNMP service must be installed.
Note To improve security, the SNMP set operation is not allowed on any object ID (OID) in the system application MIB. After installing Cisco netManager, you should modify the credentials for Windows SNMP service to not use a default or well-known community string.
It is recommended that you install Windows SNMP service before you install Cisco netManager.
Use this procedure to determine whether Windows SNMP service is installed.
Step 1 Verify that Windows SNMP service is installed on the server where you will install Cisco netManager. To do so:
a. Open the Windows administrative tool Services window.
b. Verify the following:
–SNMP Service is displayed on the Windows administrative tool Services window; if so, Windows SNMP service is installed.
–SNMP service status is Started; if so, SNMP service is running.
Step 2 If Windows SNMP service is not installed, install it.
Note Windows online help provides instructions for adding and removing Windows components, such as Windows SNMP service. To locate the instructions, try selecting the Index tab in Windows online help and entering a keyword or phrase, such as install SNMP service.
Database Backup and Restore
Database backup and restore is available through the console (Tools > Database Utilities).
