Reconfigure

1) Locate ...\snmptools\EdgSetup.exe and run it. Click Uninstall. This shuts down the application, releases the database and removes all traces from system but no files would be deleted.

2) While uninstalled the directory can be moved or renamed.

3) Run ...\snmptools\EdgSetup.exe again. Change the settings and click Install.

NOTE: Tabs that have [Save] button do not need the tool to be taken down for making changes.

Uninstall

1) Locate ...\snmptools\EdgSetup.exe and run it. Click Uninstall.

2) Delete ...\snmptools folder. If you do this your monitored data would be permanently lost.
