System Requirements
WhatsUp Gold requires the following system resources:
- An Intel 486, or Pentium Family processor or equivalent
- Windows NT 4.0 or greater, Windows 2000, Windows 98, or Windows 95
- A TCP/IP protocol stack. Supported stacks include those from Microsoft (Windows NT, 2000, 98, 95).
- If you want to install the Performance Graphs capability, you need to first install Microsoft's Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) interface and the ODBC text driver.
WhatsUp Gold sets up the statistics data, from which graphs are created, as an ODBC database.
ODBC is installed as part of Microsoft Office 97 or later, or you can obtain the ODBC files from Microsoft's web site at: www.microsoft.com/data/download_250rtm.htm.
You do not need to set up the ODBC data source. If the WhatsUp Gold installation procedure finds ODBC on your computer, it automatically sets up the data source (DSN) for Performance Graphs. The data source is wugstats.log (in the WhatsUp directory) and uses the Microsoft .txt database format.
- To scan and poll IPX devices, Microsoft's NWLink IPX/SPX Compatible Transport must be installed and running on the system on which WhatsUp Gold is installed. You can add this transport using the Control Panel Network applet. (In the "Select Network Protocol" dialog box, select NWLink IPX/SPX-Compatible Transport and follow the online instructions.)
