This section contains background information on Netra j 3.0 and special installation and upgrade instructions.
Though the install and upgrade scripts install localization packages, the Netra j 3.0 administration interface remains in English until the System Defaults module is configured. Then the administration interface becomes localized.
After an upgrade, use the Local Name Service module to check if the Netra j 3.0 server host name is mapped to the loopback IP address (127.0.0.1). If it is, change this address to the IP address of the JavaStation boot server. This may be the Netra j 3.0 server itself. Then map localhost to 127.0.0.1.
Netra j 3.0 requires two web servers. One web server resides at port 81 and serves the pages of the Netra j 3.0 administration interface to a web browser. The other resides at port 80 and delivers the HotJava Views application to the NCs.
The Sun WebServers are configured as follows:
A Sun WebServer is automatically configured at port 81. However, if a Sun WebServer already exists at port 81, it is left untouched.
Netra j 3.0 inspects port 80, which is the default port for web servers. If a web server is not running on your machine at port 80, a Sun WebServer is configured at that port. If a web server is running at port 80 (Netscape Enterprise, for example), the existing web server is left intact but it is not configured for use with Netra j 3.0.
The AnswerBook online documentation collections listed in the following table are located in the Misc subdirectory of either the downloaded web software or the Netra j 3.0 CD. These files are not automatically installed with Netra j 3.0.

As superuser, open a shell window and change to the Misc directory.
Type the following command to install the AnswerBook collection:
# pkgadd -d . pkgname
Where pkgname is a package name listed in the previous table.
For further information on installing an AnswerBook collection or the AnswerBook server, refer to the Information Library for Solaris 2.6 (SPARC Platform Edition).
GO-Joe server software is located in the Misc subdirectory of either the downloaded web software or the Netra j 3.0 CD. It is not automatically installed with Netra j 3.0. This software should be installed on the JavaStation X server, which can either be the Netra j 3.0 server or another system on the network.
GO-Joe client software is installed during the Netra j 3.0 installation. For information on setting up network computers to use GO-Joe client software, refer to the Netra j 3.0 Administrator's Guide.
