Installation Information

This section provides information you need to know prior to installing the AAC Manager software.

Hardware Requirements

The AAC Manager runs under HP OpenView on either an HP or Sun workstation that is connected to the AAC
device. The AAC device must have firmware revision 3.2. Any additional hardware requirements are the same as
those of HP OpenView.

Software Requirements

The AAC Manager requires the HP OpenView SNMP Management Platform release 3.31 and the HP OpenView
Network Node Manager.

Network Requirements

The AAC must be connected to the HP OpenView host via a TCP/IP network. No limitation on the physical
medium exists provided that the TCP/IP software package is certified to run on the given processor, HP or Sun,
and the network software supports TCP/IP.

The AAC Manager also requires an active diagnostic channel connection between the HP OpenView host and the
AAC.

You are responsible for ensuring that the AAC device is properly configured and connected to the HP OpenView
host.

Environment Requirements

The directory /usr/OV/bin must be included in your PATH environment variable. The X-Windows-based VT100
terminal emulator, xterm, must be present and a path to it must exist when running the HP OpenView AAC
Manager.

Distribution Media

The ACCULINK Access Controller Manager is distributed on a 4 mm Digital Data Storage (DDS) tape for HP
systems and on 3.5

floppy diskettes for Sun systems.

Software License

The software license contains the serial number assigned to the AAC Manager application software. The serial
number is requested when you place a call for support. Please retain this license for future reference and keep it in
a secure place.
