2. Introduction and Overview 2-1. Introduction to ConsoleWorks ConsoleWorks is an application built to monitor console port text or SYSLOG messages and to directly manage any device supporting console port connections. It runs on OpenVMS, Unix and NT/2000 platforms. In addi- tion, ConsoleWorks can manage devices indirectly by using script-initiated management applications running on the ConsoleWorks host. -
Page 8: Installation Terms
ConsoleWorks Root Directory The base directory on the ConsoleWorks server system in which all ConsoleWorks directories reside. On Windows NT/2000, this directory is C:\Program Files\TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server\. Device Console Port A Device Console Port is a serial port on a device that is used to manage that device. - Page 9 Distribution Kit or Package A Distribution Kit or Package is a file or files that enable a person to install the ConsoleWorks application. Each operating system (Windows NT/200 OpenVMS, Tru64, Linux, HP UX and Solaris) uses a unique distribu- tion kit. Events Events are conditions occurring on devices which cause the devices to post status messages to their con- sole ports or onto the network with Syslog.

- Page 12 The original templates created during installation are located in the Config subdirectory under the installation directory specified during the installation process. For Windows NT/2000, the default is C:\Program Files\TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server\Config. An installer intending to use the same modifications to the templates across several invocations could save significant effort by editing the templates made during the original installation, make the modifications to the ConsoleWorks root directory templates.
