Hardware Recommendations
The NMS200 Network Management Software contains an Application Server that runs
continuously in the background. The minimum hardware recommendations are:
2.8 GHz dual core CPU
4G RAM (8G for 64-bit operating systems)
40G available disk space
Device monitoring stops when you stop the application server or turn off its host machine.
Best practice is to install the application server to a host you do not turn off if you want
constant monitoring of your devices.
Network Considerations
The system the NMS200 Network Management Software is on is required to be connected to
a network for the application to start successfully.
Fixed IP Address
The NMS200 Network Management Software’s application server is required to be installed
on a host with a fixed IP address or a permanently assigned Dynamic Host Control Protocol
(DHCP) lease. The fixed IP address is required for the application server to communicate
with the managed devices.
