Using InterSite Programs (Windows NT)
TD-260 systems running Windows NT ship with the following InterSite programs:
u
InterSite Welcome provides support information, tells you how to create Emergency Repair
or Startup disks, and helps you connect to the InterSite Manager to access the full line of
InterSite products. See Chapter 2, “Setting Up the Software,” for more information.
u
InterSite Version Manager is a tool for creating system software backup diskettes, and for
updating device drivers and other system software products installed on the system.
u
InterSite DMI Console gives easy access to the system’s status and configuration
information. The Console is based on the Desktop Management Interface (DMI), through
a window containing a graphical information tree view pane, a service provider component
information pane, and a message pane. DMI Console works with the Desktop
Management Interface (DMI), a technology standard that enables the effective
management of personal computers (PCs).
u
InterSite Watchdog is a system monitoring tool with remote monitoring capabilities. You
can install Watchdog on a system running the Windows NT, and use it to monitor
workstations and servers also running Windows NT.
u
InterSite SmartDrive is a kernel-level driver that supports disk drive self-monitoring,
analysis, and reporting technology.
From the operating system Start menu, go to Programs/InterSite to find the InterSite programs
on your system. See the online Help for each InterSite program for more information on how
to use the program.
Updating an Emergency Repair Disk or a Startup
Diskette
You may have created an Emergency Repair Disk (Windows NT) or a Startup diskette
(Windows 95 or Windows 98) during first-time startup, or through InterSite Welcome. If you
did not, you should create the appropriate diskette after you finish configuring the system. If
you did, you should update it any time you change the configuration of the system. The files on
the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk can restore the original contents of a damaged
operating system Registry (that is, at the time the operating system was installed), along with
the standard operating system drivers. Use the Startup diskette to start the system in the event
you have trouble starting Windows 95 or Windows 98.
See the operating system documentation for information on creating an Emergency Repair Disk
or a Startup diskette.
