Hardware and Software Requirements for the Configuration Program

Table 5-2 lists the minimum requirements for the operating systems supported by the configuration program.

Table 5-2. Configuration Program Requirements for Supported Operating Systems

Requirement	IBM AIX(R)	IBM Operating System/2(R)	Microsoft(R)Windows(R) 95 or Windows NT(R)
Workstation	RS/6000(R) Model 250/410 or higher with minimum 80-Mhz CPU	IBM-compatible PC with Intel(R) Pentium(R) 166-MHz or higher processor (see Note 1)	IBM-compatible PC with Intel Pentium 166-MHz or higher processor (see Note 1)
RAM (minimum)	64 MB	48 MB	48 MB
CD-ROM	yes	yes	yes
Free Disk Space	54 MB	37 MB	54MB
	Additionally, you will need 1 to 3 MB for each configuration file.	Additionally, you will need 1 to 3 MB for each configuration file.	Additionally, you will need 1 to 3 MB for each configuration file.
Swapper Size	N/A	10 MB	N/A
Display (minimum)	Graphics (1024 x 768 x 256 colors)	SVGA (1024 x 768 x 256 colors)	SVGA (1024 x 768 x 256 colors)
Mouse	3-button	2-button (see Note 2)	2-button (see Note 2)
Software	AIX for RS/6000 V4.1.5 or higher	OS/2(R) 3.0 or higher	Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT
	AIX Windows	IBM TCP/IP 1.2.1 for OS/2 or higher
	Environment/6000

Notes:

1. More memory and faster processors improve the program's performance.

2. Functionally equivalent to a 3-button mouse.

3. You must make sure that TCP/IP is installed and running before using the "Single Send or Retrieve" or "Multiple Send or Retrieve" functions. On MS Windows platforms, the configuration program will hang if TCP/IP is not installed and running.
