Perform a custom installation to avoid installing options and products you do not need. If you perform a typical installation, remove or disable features that you do not need after the installation.

When installing Session Monitor, do the following:

• Change the password when prompted.

• On the Network Settings page, enable monitoring only on necessary interfaces.

• On the SMTP Page:

  • If your SMTP server supports TLS, make sure to enable TLS.

  • If your SMTP server supports authentication, make sure to enable authentication and to use an account dedicated to Session Monitor.

• On the Date & Time page, (if your organization runs an NTP server) make sure to provide the IP address of the local and redundant NTP servers.
