Hardware and Software Configurations Supported for RSC

Supported Server

Sun Enterprise 250 server only, running the Solaris 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 JDK(TM) 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.

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.

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.
