Chapter 4 - CompatiView
Software Installation

All of the products in the Compatible Systems networking family,
including all IntraPort servers, RISC Router and MicroRouter models,
can be managed from a single management platform called
CompatiView. CompatiView is included on the CD-ROM which was
shipped with your IntraPort 2/2+ VPN Access Server. If your IntraPort
2/2+ is running software version 5.0 or later, then you must use
CompatiView version 5.3 or later. Earlier versions of CompatiView
will not be able to log into the server.
v Note: An older version of CompatiView for Mac OS is also included

on the CD-ROM shipped with your server. The Mac OS version can
be used with other Compatible products such as MicroRouters and
RISC Routers; however, it is not compatible with the IntraPort
2/2+ VPN Access Server software. You must use CompatiView for
Windows, versions 5.0 or later, to manage your server with Com-
patiView. PC emulator software such as SoftWindows may be used
for this purpose, if your Macintosh supports it.

v Note: Once you have installed CompatiView, you can find more

information on how to use it in the CompatiView Management
Software Reference Guide
which was included with your server.

CompatiView for Windows

CompatiView for Windows allows you to manage the server from an
IBM-compatible PC running Windows95/98 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.
