### Installation and Initial Configuration on Windows NT 4.0

This topic describes how to install, start, and configure the PortAssist Manager application on a Windows NT 4.0 system. It assumes that you have downloaded PortAssist Manager from the Digi web site and ensured that your Windows NT 4.0 system meets system requirements.

#### Procedure

1. Navigate to the folder with the PortAssist Manager software.

2. Double-click setup.exe.

3. Follow the prompts to complete installation.
   Note: If the installation program cannot find a supported Java Virtual Machine, you will be prompted to specify a path to this software or to acquire it from portassist.com.

4. If you want to change the PortAssist Manager UDP port (the default is 8080) do the following: (a) Select Start > Programs > Configure PortAssist Manager. (b) Specify a new port and then press OK. (c) Press Done.

5. Complete initial configuration, which involves assigning an administrator password, configuring a list of users, and configuring a list of systems to manage. To complete these tasks, do the following:

   - Using one of the supported browsers, access the system that is running PortAssist Manager: http://system_name:8080. Note: If you reconfigured the PortAssisst Manager UDP port to port 80, which is the http protocol default, specifying the port number is not required.

   - Launch PortAssist Manager.

   - Sign on to PortAssist Manager. Note: The administrator user name is admin. You cannot change this user name, but you must specify (and then remember) an administrator password.

   - Use the configuration screens and online help to assist you in assigning a password to the administrator, configuring a list of users (and their passwords), and a list of systems for PortAssist Manager to manage.
