Overview
This chapter describes how and when to install the required software for the host processor, User
Interface Processor (UIP), full-feature workstations and basic-feature workstations.
6800 NMS Application Software
This package is installed in the host processor during system manufacture for the Altos
5000 platform. Installation of this software on the 15000 platform must be done at the
customer site. Additionally, you may also need to reload the application software to
recover from a hard disk failure, or when upgrading to a different release.
MPX Multiprocessing Software
This software is installed on the Altos 15000 host processor to support the multiple 486
processors and must be done at the customer site for both new and existing 15000
platforms. You may need to reload this software when recovering from a hard disk failure.
6800 UIP Application Software
This software is loaded on the User Interface Processor (UIP) during system manufacture.
You will need to reload and reconfigure it when you are adding the optional IPC-1600
card to the UIP. You may also need to reload this software to recover from a hard disk
failure, or when upgrading to a different release.
PTF Software
This software is loaded at the customer site. It includes PTF 4.2.1 which provides an
update for existing NMS and UIP applications and ACCULINK Network Manager
(ANM) 4.3.0 which provides ACCULINK multiplexer support. First load the NMS/UIP
Application and then follow the installation instructions in the respective software
abstracts to load these two PTFs.
Full-Feature Workstation Software
This software is loaded at the time of manufacture for workstations supplied by Paradyne.
You will need to load this software into any system (i.e., a Release 2 host) you are
converting into a full-feature workstation. The NMS supports three types of workstations:
Sun, 386/486 processors, or any generic X-terminal which can run the X11 R4 windowing
software. You also need to reload the full-feature workstation software to recover from a
hard disk failure, or when upgrading software, such as changing X-DOS software to
X-One software.
Basic-Feature Workstation Software
This software is loaded at the time of manufacture. You may need to reload it to recover
from a hard disk failure or when upgrading software.
