Installing Distinct TCP/IP
Site Manager on the PC uses a WINSOCK-compatible TCP/IP stack to
communicate across the IP network. If you already have an installed TCP/IP
stack, you can use it with Site Manager. If not, Bay Networks supplies Distinct
TCP/IP for Microsoft Windows, a Distinct Corporation application, with Site
Manager. Appendix B provides an example of a successful Distinct installation.
You install TCP/IP or its equivalent by
• Preparing information for
— Serial number and key code
— Network interface card and driver
— Network configuration
• Loading the Distinct software
• Testing Distinct
This section provides the general guidelines for installing Distinct TCP/IP. For
detailed instructions about the Distinct product, refer to Distinct TCP/IP for
Microsoft Windows Run Time Installation and Configuration Guide, the Distinct
Corporation documentation supplied with Site Manager. Also check the Bay
Networks Read Me First documentation for changes to the installation
instructions.
The use of Distinct’s TCP/IP Run Time software is subject to the Distinct
Software License Agreement. Each Distinct License Agreement allows you to
install Distinct on up to 15 PCs per IP subnet. We recommend installing and
configuring Distinct’s TCP/IP Run Time software successfully on one PC before
you install it on additional systems.
Only the Distinct features required for Site Manager — TFTP and Ping — are
operational. To obtain a complete version of Distinct, contact the Distinct
Corporation at 408-366-8933.
If you use another WINSOCK-compatible TCP/IP stack, consult its
documentation for installation requirements. After installation, proceed to the
section “Starting Up Site Manager” later in this chapter.
