This dialog box also allows you to select whether Traffix Manager starts
automatically every time you log on to your machine.
Default DNS Domain Allows you to set a default DNS domain, if you wish to change the
previously configured default. You can specify a default domain to be
used for devices discovered on your local network when the DNS lookup
does not return fully-qualified local names.
For example, if the default DNS domain is
acme.com
and a device resolves
as
fred
, it will be given the DNS name
fred.acme.com
. This can be useful
when using the DNS grouping. See Chapter 4 , “Grouping Network
Devices in the Map” for more information.
Upgrading Traffix
Manager 2.0
Traffix Manager version 3.0 and Traffix Manager version 2.0 for NT
cannot be installed on the same system. Before you can install Traffix
Manager 3.0, you must deinstall Traffix Manager 2.0.
This section describes the actions you must complete before attempting
to deinstall Traffix Manager 2.0. It then describes the process for
de-installing Traffix Manager 2.0. The de-installation process is divided
into two steps:
■
Deinstalling Traffix Manager 2.0.
■
Deleting the Transcend Traffix Manager 2.0 and X Vision program
groups and Start menu entries.
Before Deinstalling Before deinstalling Traffix Manager, ensure you complete the following
steps:
■
Take a backup of any files you wish to keep. For example, you may
wish to keep a copy of the directory which contains all the data you
have collected. You may also wish to keep a copy of the directory
which contains Traffix Manager configuration files — the SubnetsDB
file and the AttlookupDB file. You can find these files in
<install>\traffix\config
.
■
Save any attribute lookup programs that you have written. See
Appendix E , “Automatic Attribute Assignment” for more
information.
