The Server Manager can be accessed from any workstation with a browser and the Java Run- Time Environment (JRE) installed. The JRE is required to run applets that are part of the Server Manager graphical user interface. Download and install the JRE on each machine you will use as an administrator workstation. You can download the JRE from:

Upgrading
Version 7.1.0 of the AAA Server software converts most previously installed binary and configuration files to version 7.1.0 formats during the installation process. You no longer need to uninstall the software prior to upgrading. To take advantage of this feature, you must install all files into the same directories as your previous installation.
Note: When converting, you don’t have to perform a preliminary backup of configurations. The AAA Server installer automatically backs up your current configuration files to the subdirectory backup_raddb.timestamp in the configuration file directory.
If you’re converting from a version earlier than 6.0.x, check the conversion of your vendors, dictionary, and .fsm files. In some cases, these may need to be manually updated to include 7.1.0 content.
Finite State Machine (.fsm) files that have been modified from the installation default are not converted with the 7.1.0 installation. These files must be manually recreated in the 7.1.0 file format after installing the server.
