6.5.7.3 * Test PCNC with SNMP
Restart PCNC, and again watch for any warnings or error messages.
The PCNC Main window will appear, and you should also see the icons
for PCNCSNMP.EXE and for the Chameleon Newt.
Select the
Help | About... command from PCNC’s menu bar. A
dialogue box containing status information will appear, and should
confirm that the SNMP Link is enabled.
Check your NMS - if everything is working correctly, you should be able
to see that a warm-start trap has arrived.
6.5.8 Enter the Network information
Once PCNC is working correctly, you can enter details of your Cabletron
network. Please refer to Chapter 8 - The Network Database, for details.
6.6 Upgrading to a newer version of PCNC
If you have been running a previous version of PCNC, you will have two
files customised to run with your network - PCNC.INI and PCNC.DAT.
Before you start, you should make a backup copy of these files, because

6.6.1 Copying the files
The new files should be copied into the directory in which your current
version of PCNC is stored. You need to preserve PCNC.INI and
PCNC.DAT during the installation, but all other files can be overwritten.
•
Move PCNC.INI and PCNC.DAT to a backup directory.
•
Copy everything from the new disks into the working directory.
•
Copy PCNC.DAT back to the working directory.
6.6.2 Updating the PCNC.INI file
PCNC always comes with a new default PCNC.INI file, which you should
use with the new program.
You can refer to your old PCNC.INI file when you configure the new one,
as many of the option settings will be exactly the same. Either print it
out, or open both files with a text editor and use the Cut and paste
facility. Leave the SNMP Link disabled, even if you intend to use it, until
