3: Client Software Installation
DC 900-1333Q 61
Protocol software products are distributed on CDROM separate from the Freeway Cli-
ent Software. The number of protocol CDROMs you need to install depend on what
protocols you have purchased with your Freeway server.
3.6.1 What the Protocol Software CDROM Includes
Individual protocol software distribution CDROMs may vary in content depending on
the type of protocol. In general, each protocol CDROM includes the following files:
• Protocol software image and load file
• Protocol loopback program source code and make files
• Protocol-specific documentation
The protocol image and load files are used only on the Freeway server. You will not need
to access these files unless you are planning to configure your client system as a Freeway
boot server.
The Loopback test programs consist of the source code for the loopback, test, demo,
and any other program supplied by Protogate with the specific protocol. The program
source files are placed in the following directory on your client system:
usr/local/freeway/client/test/name (UNIX example)
where name is one of the directory names listed in Ta b le 3 –2 .
The protocol-specific documentation primarily consists of the Programmer’s Guide for
the protocol software you are using in PDF format. These documents are also available
on Protogate’s web site (www.protogate.com), but only for commercial protocols. Most
protocols used within the government and military are “export restricted” and the Pro-
grammer’s Guides for these are not posted on Protogate’s public web site. If you have
one of these protocols, you need to get the documents from the CDROM.
