Table 1-4 shows the communications protocols available for each RSC/MP product.

RSC/MP Installation

RSC/MP includes the following software:

•

Host software — Different versions of the host software exist for Integrity NonStop

servers and for NonStop S-series servers.

•

Workstation software — Each client platform requires specific software.

For new installations or upgrades, install the host software first, then install the

workstation software.

General Steps for Installation

RSC/MP software installation includes these general steps:

1. Install the RSC/MP software on the NonStop host system.

2. Configure the host software for the communications protocol that you will use on

each client workstation.

3. Download the workstation software from the host to each workstation (see the

appropriate section for Windows or UNIX).

4. Configure each workstation for the communications protocols that RSC/MP will use

(see the appropriate section for asynchronous, TCP/IP, NetBIOS, or SPX).
