12 Installing and Upgrading CDOS for

Control Desktop

Control Desktop Open Server (CDOS) software interfaces ENVOXr

Configuration Software to Type SW3311 Control Desktop client software.

This section describes how to install and upgrade the CDOS software on

DEC VAX and DEC AXP platforms. These platforms require that ENVOX

software already be installed in client-server or client-only mode.

12.1 Intended Audience

CDOS Installation requires system administrator privileges. This section

is intended for administrators familiar with DEC Open VMS systems for

installation on a DEC VAX or AXP platforms. A knowledge of ENVOX

configuration software and its interfaces to a PROVOXr system is helpful.

12.2 System Requirements

The OpenVMS software and the DEC platforms must meet the

requirements listed below for successful installation of CDOS software.

12.2.1 Hardware Requirements

CDOS P2.0 software requires at least a VAX 4000 model 90 workstation,

a DEC AXP Workstation, a DEC AXP server, or similar system. The

number of concurrent Control Desktop and Control Designer clients which

can be connected to CDOS is physically limited according to the following

equation:

[3 x (number of Control Desktop users)] + [number of Control Designer

users] < 53

For example, if there are seven Control Desktop users and three Control

Designer users, the equation yields:

[3 X 7} + [3] = 24, which is well below 53.
