Verifying Network Requirements

The DSLAM Configurator has the following network requirements:

� Transmission/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) network connector and associatedsoftware

The TCP/IP network provides two-way transmission of data.

� Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server software

The TFTP Server software is used to transfer the configuration files back and forthbetween the local operating platform and the DSLAM chassis. Before you installthe DSLAM Configurator software, you must install and configure the TFTP Serversoftware. The TFTP server software must reside on the same system as theDSLAM Configurator.

Installing the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on your platform and the JREexecutable must be in your PATH before you can install and run the DSLAMConfigurator:

� Solaris requires JRE Version 1.1.6

� HP-UX requires JRE Version 1.1.3

� AIX requires JRE Version 1.1.2

� Windows/NT, and Windows 95 require JRE Version 1.1.6

To determine if the JRE is installed on your system, open a command prompt windowand type the following command:

jre

If the JRE is installed, a message similar to the following is displayed:

Java(tm) Runtime Loader Version 1.1.6Usage: jre [-options] classname [arguments]

If you do not receive a similar message, consult the documentation for your operatingplatform to ensure that� �� JRE executable� has been included in your PATH. Shouldyou need to install JRE, you may download the software from a site on the World WideWeb that is applicable to your operating system. At the time of this writing, the websites are as follows:

� For Solaris, Windows/NT, and Windows 95:

http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/jre/index.html

� For AIX:

http://www.ibm.com/Java/jdk/download/

� For HP-UX:

http://www.hp.com/esy/technology/jdk/products/jre.html

4

The Java Development Kit (JDK) includes the complete Java Runtime Environment(JRE). Thus, if the JDK is installed, you need only ensure that the JRE executable isincluded in your PATH to run the DSLAM Configurator.
