Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco WAN Modeling Tools
Installing the NMT
Installing the NMT on a PC Platform
To install NMT on the PC, follow these steps:
Step 1 Run the provided nmt installing exe file, which is a self extracting ZIP file. The file is called
‘nmt_inst.exe’ and is in the PC directory. You can either run it directly from your CD drive on the PC,
or transfer it from your UNIX installation to your PC and then run it.
Step 2 The zip file will unzip in c:\nmt by default. It is recommend you keep this as the NMT installation
directory. If you accept this selection, move to step 3. If you wish to change the installation directory,
use one of the procedures that follow.
To change the installation directory on a Windows 2000 system, follow these steps:
a. Enter the cd command to get to the Advanced directory, as shown in the following example:
My Computers/Control Panel/System/Advanced.
b. Click “Environment Variables.”
c. Click “New” and add the environment variable with the name NMTHOME, and set the value to the
directory you specified when installing the compressed file.
To change the installation directory on earlier windows systems:
a. Add the lines in the file autoexec.add to the end of your autoexec.bat file. The autoexec.add file is
in the c:\nmt default directory, and the autoexec.bat is found in the c: main directory.
b. Change the drive and directory of NMTHOME to the path you entered for the unzip command.
c. Reboot your machine before running NMT.
Step 3 Install the shortcut.
a. Open Explorer, go to \nmt\install and then to the sub directory of the operating system on your PC.
b. Drag and drop the Cisco WAN Modeling Tool shortcut to the background windows screen.
To create a short cut from scratch, follow these steps:
a. Use Explorer to drag and drop the file c:\nmt\install\nmt.exe to the background.
b. Right mouse click on the icon for properties.
c. Set start in to the recommended C:\nmt†ata, which will be the default directory for storying your
NMT files.
If you want to store your NMT data elsewhere, you can reset this. Select change icon, and then browse.
Select the file c:\nmt•in\nmt_icon.exe and pick the icon on the left.
Step 4 Click the Cisco WAN Modeling Tool icon to start NMT. Alternatively, you can start NMT by running
c:\nmt\nmt.exe.
