RS3: Software Release Notes for P1 R4.2
Software and Hardware Requirements
See the VAX section to determine if your current VAX interface
software will work with P1 R4.x software.
Determining Upgrade Requirements
The following pages include compatibility charts that list detailed
hardware and software requirements for P1 R4.x. If you are a current
user who is upgrading to P1 R4.x, you need to make sure your system
meets these requirements. If it does not, contact your Emerson Process
Management sales or service representative.
The compatibility charts cover individual nodes on the PeerWay for
each PeerWay Image Designation. Within each PeerWay Image
Designation, if each node on the PeerWay meets the compatibility
requirements of the applicable chart for that node type, then the
combination of nodes is compatible for that PeerWay Image
Designation.
Console Requirements
The MTCC or SMS console requirements are shown in Table 2.4
through Table 2.11. The MTCC or SMS console requirements are the
same for both the P1 PeerWay Image Designation and P1/V18
Combined PeerWay Image Designation.
