Requirements and Considerations
Using SNA Over X.25
To use SNAplus2 over X.25 with the ACC cards, both the SNAplus2 and
the X.25/ACC products must be installed on your system. The SNA/ACC
product is not required.
ACC Hardware Not a Pre-requisite
It is not a requirement that you install your ACC cards first before
installing the pre-requisite ACC software mentioned above or the ACC
SNAPlus2 Link Software. You may install the ACC software first, and
then install your ACC cards later on.
However, in the case of the pre-requisite ACC software, if you install
your ACC cards after this software has been installed, then you will need
to do some configuration to update this installed ACC software to
recognize these new cards. For details on this, refer to the ACC
Installation and C onfiguration Guide that is provided with the ACC
Base Software product, or the X.25/ACC Installation and Configuration
Guide that is provided with the ACC and X.25/9000 Software Bundle
product.
