Note The information in this chapter applies to Windows NT systems (SNA View) only. |
This chapter provides information on installing CiscoWorks Blue SNA View Release 3.0 on Windows NT systems. It also provides information on uninstalling and re-installing CiscoWorks Blue SNA View on Windows NT. You can install the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View software from the CD-ROM.
Windows NT supports CiscoWorks Blue SNA View. CiscoWorks Blue Maps is not supported on Windows NT.
This chapter includes the following sections:
Use the following procedure to begin installing the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View software on Windows NT:
Step 2 Insert the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive on the workstation.
|
Note If the Setup window does not automatically appear when you insert the CD-ROM, display the CD-ROM drive and double-click the blue Setup icon. If you have trouble reading the CD-ROM, make sure your CD-ROM drive is compliant with the ISO 9660 standard. |
The Setup Welcome window is displayed.
Step 3 Click Next. The License Agreement window is displayed.
Step 4 To accept the license agreement, click Yes. The Information window is displayed.
Step 5 Read the third-party product information, and then click Next. The Choose Destination Location window is displayed. Accept the default location, or click Browse to create or find another location.
|
Note Do not install the application in the program group called Startup. CiscoWorks Blue SNA View has its own built-in mechanisms for automatically restarting critical services and server processes after reboot. |
Step 6 Click Next. The Select Program Folder window is displayed. Accept the default program folder or enter a new program folder name. If you choose an alternate folder, remember that all documents refer to the "CiscoWorks Blue" folder.
Step 7 Click Next. The Setup Status window is displayed showing the status of the installation.
Two sub-windows appear during product installation: Installing shared run-time components and the Microsoft Data Access 2.1 windows. If these two applications are currently on your system, then the install program verifies they are set up properly. If these applications are not on your system, they are installed.
After CiscoWorks Blue SNA View is installed, the Setup Complete window is displayed. You might be prompted to reboot your system. Installation is not complete and CiscoWorks Blue SNA View is not yet configured. Configuration will resume after the system reboots.
|
Note CiscoWorks Blue SNA View might give you the option to reboot now or later if the installer replaced or updated any system-shared components that have been in use during installation. Cisco strongly recommends that you reboot now to complete the installation and configuration process. If you choose to reboot later, remember that you must complete the installation and configuration process before you can use CiscoWorks Blue SNA View. |
Step 8 If your system has rebooted, log in to Windows NT with the same account as you used to start the installation. Installation will resume and you will be prompted to enter a license key.
If you are re-installing, a setup window is displayed stating it has found configuration settings from a prior installation and asking if you want to restore these settings. Click Yes to restore the previous configuration information. Click No to use new configuration settings.
The Enter License window is displayed asking if you want to enter your
license key.
Step 9 To enter a new license key, click Yes. The SNA View License window is displayed.
|
Note Your license key is located on the License Information sheet included in the CiscoWorks Blue packaged materials. If you cannot locate the license key information, you can add it later using the CiscoWorks Blue configuration application. You can complete the installation without the license key; however, you will be unable to fully use CiscoWorks Blue SNA View until the license key has been added. |
Step 10 Enter the license key and click OK.
You can complete the installation without the license key; however, you will be unable to fully use CiscoWorks Blue SNA View until the license key has been added.

After installation, you can access Configuration in the following three ways:
Step 11 Enter the license key and click OK.
Step 12 The CiscoWorks Blue SNA View Properties window is displayed. Click Add to specify a mainframe connection.
For more information, see the "Using the Configuration Wizard" section. For information about adding a mainframe connection later, see the "Using the SNA View Configuration Application" section.
Step 13 Click Next. The protocol check list information is displayed. All the protocols are checked as the default. Uncheck any protocols for which you do not want to receive management information.
Step 14 Click Next. The DNS Search information is displayed.
|
Note The DNS Search check box is unchecked as the default. If you will need to query by router name in CiscoWorks Blue SNA View, select the DNS check box. However, while enabling DNS Search will increase the flexibility of resources you can search, it will also decrease the speed of the Web query. |
Step 15 Click Next. The TCP and UDP port default values required for CiscoWorks Blue SNA View are displayed. If you will be using different port numbers, enter the values in these fields
Port
| Default Value
|
|---|---|

|
Note These essential processes will start automatically after the system reboots. |
