Hardware and Software Configurations Supported for RSC

Supported Server:

Sun Enterprise(tm) 250 server only, running the Solaris(TM) 7 or Solaris 2.6 5/98 operating environment.

The Sun Enterprise 250 flash PROM must be updated to version 3.7.7 or later before installing the RSC software. Failing to do so may cause server and RSC malfunctions. For update instructions and a downloadable image, see the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement Web page at http://sunsolve2.Sun.COM/sunsolve/E250/flash.html. If you install RSC from the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement CD, you can update the flash PROM as part of the installation process.

Supported GUI Clients:

• Sun systems running the Solaris 7 operating environment

• Sun systems running the Solaris 2.6 5/98 operating environment

• Systems running the Microsoft Windows 95 operating environment

• Systems running the Microsoft Windows 98 operating environment

• Systems running the Windows NT Workstation operating environment

Sun JDK version 1.1.6 or a subsequent compatible version is required for GUI support on systems running the Solaris operating environment, and is included in the base Solaris 7 operating environment and the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement CD. The required version for the Solaris 2.6 operating environment is available at http://www.sun.com/solaris/java. Sun JDK is included in the install package for Windows clients.

Supported CLI Clients:

• ASCII character terminals

• Systems running ASCII terminal emulation software

• Systems with telnet client software

Ethernet Support:

RSC is designed to function in a 10BASE-T network, and the RSC Ethernet port should be connected to a hub operating at 10-Mbps. If RSC does not respond to an Ethernet request, the first thing to check is that connection is to a 10BASE-T hub.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS):

An American Power Conversion SmartUPS 1000 with PowerChute plus 4.2.2 software was used for testing.

SunVTS:

To run the SunVTS test for RSC on systems running the Solaris 2.6 5/98 operating environment, you must install the unbundled rsctest package. This package is available for download from the RSC Web page at http://sunsolve2.sun.com/sunsolve/E250_RSC/, and is also provided on the Sun Enterprise 250 Supplement CD. The rsctest package is already included in SunVTS version 3.0 and later.

Paging Support:

RSC paging requires that the customer's paging service adhere to the TAP protocol. Paging services in the Americas and Europe generally are TAP-compliant, but this is not necessarily so in other locales.
