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.
