Appendix A - Installation

System Requirements

Your AS/400 system must run at least OS/400 version 4 release 4 modification 0 or newer. Note, that from the next year version i.e. the 2006 versions only OS400 V5R1M0 or newer will be supported.

Disk space required for InterForm400 is 500 Mb not including additional modules (e.g. InterWord400, Interfax400..).

If you intend to use the InterForm400® Graphical Designer it is required that the OS/400 is version 4 release 5 modification 0 or newer. (See page 461 for details on the Graphical Designer).

The printers which are used with the InterForm400® system should be configured as 3812 model 1 (non-IPDS). Auto-configuration will, on most protocol converters for HP printers or compatibles, result in a 5219 device definition. This will bring some limitations to the system, and if the protocol converter can not be configured to report to the AS/400 as a 3812 device it is recommended to make the device description manually (see page 367) and disable auto-configuration on the system.

Only exception to the rule about configuring as a 3812 is when the printer port of a 3197 display station is used. In this case the configuration should be for a 4214.

First Time Installation

The system is delivered on CD-ROM.

It is recommended that you follow the steps described in the Getting Started section on page 21.
