Setting up to Run the SSU
Running the SSU Locally
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server
boots directly from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automatically run. If it boots
from a different media, the SSU can be started manually or by another application.
When the SSU starts in the local execution mode (the default mode), the SSU
accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA based
Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.
The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If
the SSU is run from nonwritable media, user preference settings (such as screen
colors) can not be saved.
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other
ROM-DOS-compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will
not operate from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.
Running the SSU Remotely
Running the SSU remotely requires a remote server with a LANDesk Server Monitor
Module 2 (SMM2) card and a local system with Remote Control software available.
The SMM2 card provides video memory, keyboard and mouse redirection support
for the remote server. The Remote Control console of the local system displays and
sends video memory and user input to the remote server through either a modem or
an Ethernet link. Because the SSU runs exclusively on the remote server, any files
required for the SSU to run must be available on the remote server (on removable or
nonremovable media).
If you connect the local system to the remote server through a network or modem
you can see the console, control the mouse and control the keyboard of the remote
server.
Starting the SSU
SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common
framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework
provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting
customization information. For full functionality, the SSU requires the availability of
the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files, and their associated .HLP and .INI files.
1. Turn the monitor ON and then apply power to the system.
2. There are two ways to start the SSU.
a. After creating set of three SSU diskettes from the CD: Insert the first
SSU diskette in drive A, and press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del>
to reboot your server from the diskette.
