The downloaded file is a self-installing EXE, simply double-click to the file to install the JRE. Follow the instructions given by the installer program.

Installing the sat-nms user interface software

The sat-nms user interface software is a Java program consisting of two files. To install the software carry out the following steps:

  2. Create a directory for the sat-nms software: c:\satnms
  3. Unpack the zip-file we sent you by mail to c:\satnms
The user interface software will install now. If you want to un-install it, simply delete the c:\satnms directory and its contents and deinstall the Java Runtime Environment via System settings - Software - JRE.
   

Running the sat-nms user interface software

To run the sat-nms user interface software, simply double-click on the file c:\satnms\satnms.bat. You need a working internet connection to run the software successfully.

If you have questions regarding the demo system, do not hestiate to contact us. On request, we can send you the demonstration on a CD. It is a Knoppix-based bootable CD-ROM that starts automatically a simulation of a Network Management System. You won't need an internet connection to run this demo-CD and it works without installation on your hard disk.
