Installing the Notification Agent on Your Computer

Installing the Notification Agent on Your

Computer

The Notification Agent is an application that you can install on any
computer that can “view” the RTUs, which usually means that the
computer and RTUs are connected to the same network. It monitors one or
several RTUs and warns you whenever faults are detected.

To install the Notification Agent on your computer:
1.
Verify if you need to install the .NET Framework 4.0 or higher on your

computer as follows:

1a. From your computer, go to the Control Panel.

1b. Start Add/Remove Programs.

1c. From the list of programs that are already installed on your

computer, try to locate Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.

If this item is on the list, you do not need to install .NET
Framework 4.0 or higher; otherwise, you will need to install it.

2. Start the RTU application (see Setting Up Your RTU on page 111).

3. Install the Notification Agent as follows:

3a. From the main menu of the NqmsWebOtdr2 application, select

About > Tools.

3b. Under EXFO Software, click the hyperlink to retrieve the

necessary file.
