10.1 Installation
1. Insert the Bull Enhancement CD-ROM:
smit install_selectable_all
INPUT device / directory for software: [/dev/cd0]
Select all
AUTOMATICALLY install requisite software? no
OVERWRITE same or newer versions? yes
2. If you use XTI/XX25 on Multi–protocol Serial I/O adapters:
if the bullx25 product is already installed on your system, change the default XX25 path:
– for bullx25: #xtiselectx25 bullx25
– for psx25: #xtiselectx25 psx25
3. Reboot the system.
10.2 License key management (IFOR/LS)
psx25 uses the iFOR/LS encrypted license keys. (Key type nodelock only.) The following
iFOR/LS keys are supported by the product:
– OSI–MP bundle (unlock a single X.25 line)
– 1 line
– 2 to 4 lines (1 line or OSI–MP bundle must also be installed)
– 5 to 8 lines (2 to 4 lines key must also be installed)
– 9 to 32 lines (5 to 8 lines key must also be installed)
– More than 32 lines.
The key is checked at run time only. The installation can be done without the presence of
the key. If the key becomes wrong during exploitation:
– An error is logged and can be seen using the errpt command.
– The X.25 links are disconnected and connections already established are broken.
To know the status of the key, run the command:
x25pstatus –n
10.3 Restrictions and Limitations
• For an X.25 line, if a PVC is attached to the OSI stack it is possible to configure it in an
IP/x25p Host Entry, but the PVC cannot work with TCP/IP. Only one stack over X25 (or
application using X25) can use a configured PVC of an X.25 line.
• The NLS messages are only printed when environment variable LANG=en_US
