1.  READ THIS FIRST

    Any references within the supplied documentation and/or the software
    provided on this diskette which may or may not refer to features
    that are not available, do not imply that they will be made
    available in the future.

===============================================================================

2.  Software Requirements

    SNMP subagent
	One of the following operating systems:
		- AIX 4.1.2 or higher
		- Windows 95
		- Windows NT v3.51 or higher (v4.0 recommended)
		- OS/2 Warp 3.0 or higher (with TCPIP >=3.0)
		- OS/2 Warp Connect (this includes an SNMP agent)

	The IBM SystemView Agent, V1.1 or higher for your operating
	system.(You should not need this if you have OS/2 Warp Connect) 

	SystemView agent can be found on the World Wide Web(WWW) at:
		http://www.networking.ibm.com/sha/shahome.html
				or
		http://www.networking.ibm.com/279/279prod.html
	
	SystemView agent can also be purchased directly from IBM.

===============================================================================
3.  Software Installation for OS/2

    To install the IBM9729 SNMP subagent for OS/2 follow these
    directions in addition to the directions in the operators manual: 
		1) Copy the file muxsnmp.exe from the installation disk
		   to the \tcpip\bin directory.
			copy a:\OS2\muxsnmp.exe c:\TCPIP\BIN

		2) The following command should be added to the end of
		   the TCPSTART.CMD file, using a text editor(such as 
		   the OS/2 System Editor).
			start muxsnmp <optional parameters>

===============================================================================
4.  SNMP Subagent Options

    Here are some helpful parameters that have been found to work:
		-p 5000  (this is needed when running the subagent in
			  simulation mode)

		-s	 (this is used for training purposes or for
			  testing out a network configuration such as
			  NetView 6000)

		-d 3	 (use this if you are experiencing trouble
			  connecting the subagent to the SNMP agent and
			  need debug information)

	      	-f <config file> (this is needed when two or more 9729's
				  are connected to the same subagent)
