WARNING: When connecting a single IDS to either a server or PC, an Ethernet cross over
cable must be used. If you are connecting multiple IDSs to a network, standard Ethernet cables
must be used.
WARNING: If you are installing the DSS software on a server or PC, any network device must
be connected to the PC via an Ethernet Cable, for the software to install. Simply connecting a
DSX-L or any other network device such as a hub or router to the server or PC will be adequate.
If no devices are connected to the computer, the DSS will not install.

Message Queuing will be referred to as MSMQ.
Prior to installing the DSS software, IIS must be installed to the Operating System if it is not
already present. Installing this Windows service requires the Operating System CD.
The DSS installer will check for “prerequisite” programs during DSS installation. If prerequisite
programs are not found in the machine, DSS installer will display the message below:

At this time, the user can go back and install the IIS using the procedures outlined on the
