Compaq T1500 manual Overview of Installation Procedure

2Chapter 1

Server resources can be provided from platforms other than the above-listed ones, but Compaq has not certified other environments and can not be responsible for any problems related to incorrectly configured servers. If you are going to operate in a different server environment, read this entire document very carefully to determine if there are any issues that you might need to resolve.

Overview of Installation Procedure

There are two major parts to the installation:

1.The first part is the configuration of the server resources necessary to use the terminal.

2.The second part is the installation of software provided on the installation CD.

The installation scripts on the CD are used to perform the second part; they are not used for the first part because software tools should already exist on your server to configure the server resources.

Note

Because portions of the software installed from the CD depend on certain server resources, it is recommended that you configure the server resources first before installing software from the CD.

This document provides all the steps necessary to configure a complete set of server resources for use with the terminals for this software release. For most of the resources, you should refer to the instructions and manual pages that come with the server software and operating system running on your server. Where special configuration information applies specifically to the terminals, this document provides that information. Many servers provide tools to configure the various network resources required, recommended, or requested for use with the terminals.
