SNMP Services Software [Windows NT Only]
SNMP Services software must be installed on Windows NT systems before
installing SPECTRUM. See Checking Network and Security Settings
[page 33].
Creating an Emergency Repair Disk
Aprisma recommends that you create an emergency repair disk before
installing SPECTRUM in the event that the SPECTRUM installation causes
file corruption. The ERD can be used to restore Windows configuration files
to their original condition. Aprisma also recommends that you create
another ERD after the successful installation of SPECTRUM. Windows help
files contain detailed instructions on creating an ERD.
