Chapter 4 - CompatiView Software Installation

All of the routers in Compatible Systems’ internetworking and VPN families, including all RISC Router and MicroRouter models, can be managed from a single GUI management platform called CompatiView. CompatiView for Windows is included on the CD-ROM which was shipped with your MicroRouter 1270i.

Note: An older version of CompatiView for Mac OS was included von the CD-ROM shipped with your router, but does not contain some of the features of the newest Windows version.

CompatiView for Windows

CompatiView for Windows allows you to manage the MicroRouter 1270i from an IBM-compatible PC running Windows 95/98 or Windows NT. The PC can either be configured as an IPX client on a Novell NetWare internet, or as an IP WinSock client on an IP internet.

System Requirements

In order to successfully run CompatiView for Windows, you need:

IBM PC or compatible w/486 or later processor

Microsoft Windows 95/98, or Windows NT installed

VGA or better monitor

IP - A WinSock-compatible transport stack - and/or -

IPX - A Netware or Microsoft Client installation

Note: To choose the active transport protocol on a Windows vmachine which has both IPX and IP installed, select “Options” from the Database menu and click the General tab. Then select the appropriate radio button under “Transport.”

Installation and Operation

The Windows version of the CompatiView program can be found in the Network Management/CompatiView/Windows directory on the CD-ROM that was included with your MicroRouter 1270i.
