3 BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Make sure that you satisfy the following requirements before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0.
• You must have administrative rights on the machine where you will install AlliedView-EMS
4.0. To make sure that you have administrative rights, log on as administrator before
installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0.
• If your machine is defined as an Active Directory Domain Controller and if you plan to
integrate AlliedView-EMS with a network management application, you should use only one
administrator account to install both the network management application and AlliedViewEMS.
• If you plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with Castle Rock SNMPc or HP OpenView, you
have to install SNMPc or OpenView first before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0. Before
installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0, stop SNMPc or OpenView if it is running.
• If you plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with Ipswitch WhatsUp, you have to install
WhatsUp first before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0. Before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0,
close the WhatsUp application, stop the WhatsUp Engine service and start the WhatsUp
SQL services.
• If you plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with Tivoli NetView, you have to install NetView
first before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0. Before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0, ensure that
NetView is running.
• Please refer to Section 12 Installation/Uninstallation Notes
issues.
for any known installation-related
4 INSTALLING ALLIEDVIEW-EMS 4.0
4.1 WINDOWS
To install AlliedView-EMS 4.0 for Windows, perform the following procedure.
1. Close all Windows applications before installing AlliedView-EMS 4.0 so that the
application can detect any existing network management system (NMS) installation in
the shortest possible time.
2. Insert the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 Installation CD in the CD drive. The AlliedView-EMS 4.0
installation setup program will automatically execute and the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 splash
screen is displayed for a few seconds.
If you downloaded the AlliedView-EMS installer from the Allied Telesis FTP site, point
to the folder where the installer program was copied to and double click EMS400.exe.
3. The Welcome window appears after the splash screen has been displayed.

Click Next to continue.
AlliedView-EMS supports Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. The next
window will be displayed if the installer has detected that your Windows platform is not
supported.
AlliedView™-EMS 4.0 INSTALLATION GUIDE Page 5 of 29
If you do not wish to continue with the installation, select No and click Next to
terminate the installation setup program.
If you wish to continue with the installation, select Yes and click Next. However,
successful installation and full functionality support of AlliedView-EMS will not be
guaranteed since the Windows platform is not supported.
If you plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with an NMS, the NMS should be in the
correct state:
• For SNMPc and OpenView, services should not be running.
• For WhatsUp, the WhatsUp Engine service should not be running but the
WhatsUp SQL services should be running.
• For NetView, services should be running.
The next window is displayed if the installer has detected that your NMS is not in its
correct state.

If you plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with SNMPc, OpenView or WhatsUp, select
No and click Next to continue. Selecting No will terminate the installation setup
program. You will then need to stop SNMPc or OpenView services and start the
installer again. For WhatsUp, you will need to stop the WhatsUp Engine service, start
the WhatsUp SQL services and then start the installer again.
If you do not plan to integrate AlliedView-EMS 4.0 with SNMPc, OpenView or
WhatsUp, select Yes and click Next to continue. The installer will then proceed to the
next window.
Note that the opposite applies for NetView. The window will be displayed if NetView
services are not running.
4. Specify whether you want to install both the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 application and its
documentation. You also have the option to install either the application or the
documentation only.
AlliedView™-EMS 4.0 INSTALLATION GUIDE Page 7 of 29
Click Next to continue.
If you choose to install the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 application only, the documentation for
the application will not be available after the installation. You will have to run the
installer again and choose the option “AlliedView-EMS Documentation” to install the
documentation.
If you choose to install the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 documentation only, you will have to
specify a folder where the documents will be installed, unless AlliedView-EMS 4.0
application is already installed. You will not have the option to integrate AlliedView-EMS
4.0 with an NMS since you will not be installing the application.
If there is a previous installation of AT-View Plus or AlliedView-EMS on your machine, a
message box will open advising you to uninstall the application first before running the
AlliedView-EMS 4.0 installer again. To uninstall AT-View Plus or AlliedView-EMS, refer
to Section 10 Uninstalling AlliedView-EMS or AT-View Plus
.
5. Specify the mode or type of installation, if you want to install AlliedView-EMS 4.0 and
integrate it with an NMS or just install the AlliedView-EMS 4.0 application and/or
documentation. The selection below will depend on which network management
system is installed on your computer.
This window will not be displayed if you have chosen to install the AlliedView-EMS 4.0
documentation only, if you do not have an NMS installed on your computer or if the
NMS you wish to integrate is not in the correct state (refer to page 6).
Note - It is not advisable to have more than one network management application
installed on the same machine as conflicts may arise between or among the network
management applications installed. Such conflicts may cause the integration between
AlliedView-EMS and the selected network management application to fail.
Select “NONE” if you want to install AlliedView-EMS 4.0 as a standalone application.
