OpenVMS Software Installation Release Notes
2.1 Installation and Upgrade Information Common to Alpha and VAX
During the main installation procedure for OpenVMS Version 7.3, you have the
option of installing the following Compaq networking software:
• Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
TCP/IP Services and DECnet can run concurrently on your system. Once
you have installed Compaq DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS and TCP/IP Services
on your system, you can run DECnet applications and OSI applications, or
both, over your TCP/IP network. Refer to the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS
Management Guide for more information about running DECnet over TCP/IP
(RFC 1859) and OSI over TCP/IP (RFC 1006).
• Either DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or Compaq DECnet for OpenVMS Phase
IV for OpenVMS. (Note that both DECnet products cannot run concurrently
on your system.)
DECnet-Plus contains all the functionality of the DECnet Phase IV product,
plus the ability to run DECnet over TCP/IP or OSI protocols.
Support for DECnet Phase IV is provided to customers with a Prior Version
Support Contract. For more information about the Prior Version Support
service, see Section 1.4.
Or, after you install OpenVMS, you can install a supported third-party
networking product of your choice.
For information about how to configure and manage your Compaq networking
software after installation, see the manuals listed in Table 2–1. The manuals in
online format are available on the OpenVMS Documentation CD-ROM and can be
ordered in printed format through Compaq (800-282-6672).
