Chapter 4 Getting Started Starting the MWTM Client Tip For a definition of MWTM nodes, see What is ITP?, page 1-6 and What is RAN-O?, page 1-7. Because the MWTM application comprises a server component and a client component, you must start both components to run the application. To start the MWTM server on a Solaris or Linux system: Step 1 You must be logged in as the root user or as a superuser, or your login must have administrator privileges. To log in as the root user, see the Be

Chapter 4 Getting Started Starting the MWTM Client Before Starting the MWTM Client When you start an MWTM client, the version and release of the client must match that of the MWTM server. If there is a client-server mismatch, the MWTM displays a warning message when you try to start the client. If you have a web browser installed, the MWTM optionally opens a web page from which you can download an allowed, matching client. See Downloading the MWTM Client from the Web, page 11-7 for

Chapter 4 Getting Started Discovering Your Network Access the Node You use the MWTM to link to the node by using the connection protocol (Telnet or SSH) that you set in the Node SNMP and Credentials dialog box (see Credentials Fields, page 3-21). To access the node, right-click a node in a window, then choose Node > Connect to from the right-click menu. Note If your client workstation does not have network access to the IP address of the node (that is, if the node is behind a firewal
