Software Installation
A typical software installation may contain two or more distribution media packages
(tapes, CDs, and so on). One package contains the ICP2432 VMS device driver, DLITE,
and related files. The other package may contain a specific Protogate protocol and its
related files. This chapter describes the installation procedure for both the device driver
and the protocol software for VMS systems.
The software installation procedures in this chapter refer to directory names that are
used by Protogate’s “Freeway” line of server products.
Before you install the software you must determine the type of installation media you
have. There are two types of installation media: a VMS formatted tape that uses the
VMSINSTAL utility, or a VMS BACKUP saveset taken from a CD or from the Protogate
FTP site. If you have a
VMSINSTAL tape, follow the steps in Section 2.3. If you have a
BACKUP saveset, follow the steps in Section 2.4.
