Installing MarkVision Professional

Before you install
Before you install the MarkVision Server:
1
Make sure you have 70MB of hard disk space available for a complete installation.
2
Decide where to install the MarkVision Server.
You must install at least one MarkVision Server on the network.
Note: You may install any of the other packages on the same workstation running the
MarkVision Server, although this is not necessary.
Where to install MarkVision components
If your devices are distributed across a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN),
network traffic increases as users try to access them. With MarkVision, you can choose where to
install components, letting you reduce network traffic.
To minimize network traffic and improve performance, install the MarkVision Server on a host that
offers relatively high-speed access to users and to the devices you want to monitor.
Installable components
MarkVision supplies several installable components
• MarkVision Application–Installs the primary client application that is used to manage your
devices. This application requires a MarkVision Server to be available on the network.
• MarkVision Server–Installs the necessary files to set up the MarkVision Server.
• MarkVision Messenger–Installs the MarkVision Messenger Web-based utility.
• MarkVision Web Client–Installs a Web browser-based version of the MarkVision Client to
the MarkVision Server, allowing you to access MVP from a remote location using a browser.
Because the installation process is operating system-specific, there are different install
packages that can be used for this version of the client. These files include:
