SECTION A  Network Manager Download Executables (Windows)

The NMS requires Java jre7. Please check if the jre is loaded. Look for folder: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
If it is not loaded please download and install one of these .exe files, below

jre-7u79-windows-i586  (32 bit machines)         OR               jre-7u79-windows-x64  (64 bit machines)

Windows 10 uses the 32 bit version. Other downloads available on the Oracle Download Page for jre7:

General Notes on the NMS and its intended use
 
01. NMS is NOT needed for the mesh to run. The mesh forms independent of an NMS.
02. NMS IS needed to configure nodes,  view the network, run performance tests and manage node firmware upgrades.
03. NMS download includes the network management software (as self installation executable) and user manual.
04. NMS Training Videos and slides are on the Tutorial and Support pages.  Email:  techsupport@Meshdynamics.com
