Preface

InterSite Server Monitor 3.0 Quick-Start Guide  describes the purpose and use of the
InterSite Server Monitor (ISM) software.  The Quick-Start Guide describes how to set up
your computer for the ISM software, install and configure the ISM software, and start using
Server Manager Console.

The Quick-Start Guide also provides basic information you need to set up the Emergency
Management Card (EMC) for use with the ISM software on an Intergraph server running
Windows NT Server 4.0.  See the “Additional InterSite Server Monitor Information” and
“Additional Intel LANDesk Server Manager Information” sections in this Preface for a list
of informational text files and additional related documentation.

About This Document

InterSite Server Monitor Quick-Start Guide  is organized as follows:

Chapter 1, “Overview,” describes the features of the ISM software, the monitoring
console setup, the monitored server setup, and the communication between a monitoring
console and a server.  The chapter also explains how to use this document and to find
additional documentation to install, configure, and use the EMC and LANDesk Server
Manager.

Chapter 2, “Preparing for Installation,” describes the hardware and software
requirements for installing ISM on a monitoring console or a server, the materials and
tools you need for installation, how to install the PC Card modem on the EMC, and how
to install and configure the Windows NT SNMP Service (if needed).

Chapter 3, “Installing, Configuring, and Removing InterSite Server Monitor (ISM),”
describes how to install, configure, remove, and reinstall ISM software.  It also explains
how to configure the EMC, and gives a brief introduction to the Server Manager
Console for configuration tasks.
