Step 2: Installing and configuring TCP/IP hardware and software

Install and configure TCP/IP for the communications between CallPath Server for AIX and the client workstations. Different procedures are required for TCP/IP installation and configuration depending on your operating environment.

• See Installing and configuring TCP/IP hardware and software for a networked server for information on installing and configuring TCP/IP in a network environment.
• See Installing and configuring TCP/IP hardware and software for a stand-alone server for information on installing and configuring TCP/IP in a stand-alone environment.

Note:

If SOCKS is required for your environment, update your TCP/IP configuration by adding a direct route with the value of your local subnet mask.

Installing and configuring TCP/IP hardware and software for a networked server

After installing AIX, install the networking hardware and configure TCP/IP for communications between the CallPath Server for AIX computer and the client workstations.

Installing and configuring TCP/IP hardware and software for a stand-alone server

The TCP/IP product is packaged with the AIX operating system. The system has the loopback address and alias host name preconfigured. The alias for the default loopback address 127.0.0.1 is the localhost. To configure your system to use the loopback address, do the following:

1. Log on to AIX as root.
2. Start SMIT.
3. Select Communications Applications and Services.
4. Select TCP/IP.
5. Select Further Configuration.
6. Select Hostname.
7. Type localhost as the host name.
8. Exit SMIT.
