Installing Viewpoint Software - Dell SonicWALL GX250 Manual

Installing ViewPoint Software

You may download the ViewPoint software file from the SonicWALL, Inc. Web site.
When ViewPoint version 1.1 is available, the ViewPoint software will be included on a
CD-ROM. If your SonicWALL GX series included a ViewPoint CD, you may skip the
following instructions and instead run the ViewPoint setup program from the ViewPoint
CD.
Internet Download Installation
To download and install the software from the Internet, save the ViewPoint executable
file to your hard drive and then double click the file to run the executable.
The ViewPoint server must be running Windows 2000 or Windows NT SP 4 or greater
and it must have a static IP address.
Note: The Windows DNS configuration must also be properly configured, or domain
and host names are not be displayed in ViewPoint's Web-based reports.
Software License Agreement
Before the program files are copied to your system, the Software License Agreement
is presented.
• If you agree to the stated terms, click Yes.
• If you do not agree, click No to exit the setup program without installing.
Note: When you install ViewPoint, be sure to close all other applications on the
ViewPoint Server.
The installation wizard guides you through the set up program and installs ViewPoint
reporting software and a syslog server, Tomcat Web Server, and MySQL Database.
The ViewPoint setup program detects whether the default Web, syslog or MySQL ports
are in use. If the default Web port is active, the setup program automatically
recommends an alternative Web port, port 8080. If either syslog port 514 or MySQL
port 3306 are active, the ViewPoint setup program displays an error message.
Note: If you have a syslog server already installed on your computer, you must
remove the existing program and install the syslog server provided with SonicWALL
ViewPoint.
The Installation Wizard prompts you to define the ViewPoint Web Server port. The
default Web (HTTP) port is port 80.
Note: If you have a Web server already installed on the ViewPoint Server, then
configure the ViewPoint's Web server to run on an unused HTTP port, such as the
recommended port, 8080.
The Installation Wizard prompts you to define additional settings, such as the
SonicWALL LAN IP address and the SonicWALL administrator password.
