Compatible Systems INTRAPORT 2+ - Manual (Page 18)

v Note: To choose the active transport protocol on a Windows machine
which has both IPX and IP installed, select “Options” from the
Database menu and click the General tab. Then select the appro-
priate 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 IntraPort 2/2+ VPN
Access Server.
Run the auto-installation program (CV5x file) by double-clicking on it.
The installation program will ask you to select (or create) a directory in
which it should locate CompatiView and its associated files and data-
base subdirectory.
Once the installation is complete, double click on the CompatiView
icon to open the program. For further information on using
CompatiView, see the CompatiView Management Software Reference
Guide included with your server.
v Note: For an up-to-date description of the changes (if any) made to
Windows system files by the installation program, see the
README.TXT file located in the CompatiView installation direc-
tory.
Transport Protocols and CompatiView
CompatiView will be able to use the transport protocol (IP or IPX) you
have selected to access Compatible Systems products anywhere on your
internetwork. Depending on your security setup, you may also be able
to use the IP transport option to manage devices across the Internet.
The IP protocol does not provide a method for CompatiView to auto-
matically discover the IntraPort 2/2+ VPN Access Server. To initially
contact the server over IP using CompatiView, you must first enter a
valid IP address into the server. You can do this either on a console
directly connected to the server or by setting a workstation’s IP address
to 198.41.12.2 with a Class C subnet mask (255.255.255.0) so that it
can communicate over Ethernet with 198.41.12.1 (the shipping default
of Ethernet 0). After setting the server’s IP address, be sure to change
the workstation’s configuration back to its original settings.
The IPX protocol does allow CompatiView to automatically discover
the server. Compatible Systems devices are configured to autoseed the
