You can install IEV on any Windows NT or Windows 2000 PC that meets these minimum hardware requirements:
Pentium III processor, 800MHz or faster
256MB RAM
512MB free hard drive space
Installing IEV is straightforward. First, download the application from http://www.cisco.com. After going through the setup wizard, reboot the PC and launch the IEV application. You first need to add sensor devices (up to three) before you can start to monitor intrusion events.
To add sensor devices, select New, Devices from the File menu to launch the Device Properties dialog box. Enter values for the settings listed in Table 13.1.
