Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2: Installation 9 The RCM system requires that the NetBAY VC software be installed prior to use. NetBAY VC software allows a user to view and control a server attached to the RCM system, configure and maintain the system and prevent unauthorized access to the RCM via IP connection. NOTE: The analog port does not require the NetBAY VC software for operation. The analog port uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface (OSCAR®) for IBM. For more information, see Chapter 3. The RCM system uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol to transmit keyboard, video and mouse information between operators and connected computers. Although 10BaseT Ethernet can be used, a dedicated, switched 100BaseT network provides improved performance. Getting Started Before installing your RCM, refer to the following lists to ensure you have all items that shipped with the RCM as well as other items necessary for proper installation. Supplied with the RCM • RCM • Power cord • Four packages of terminators (Four per package) • One CAT 5 cable, 1.8 meters (6 feet) in length • Rack mounting kit • RCM Installer and User Guide on CD • NetBAY VC software Installer and User Guide on CD • RCM Quick Installation Guide • One straight-through serial cable Additional items needed • One KCO cable per attached PS/2 server or switch • One UCO cable per attached USB server • One CCO cable per attached IBM C2T server chain Setting up your network The RCM system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the RCMs and the computers running NetBAY VC software. The RCM supports both BootP (a subset of DHCP) and static IP addressing. IBM recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that they remain static while the RCMs are connected to the network.

Chapter 2: Installation
The RCM system requires that the NetBAY VC software be installed prior to
use. NetBAY VC software allows a user to view and control a server attached to
the RCM system, configure and maintain the system and prevent unauthorized
access to the RCM via IP connection.
NOTE:
The analog port does not require the NetBAY VC software for operation. The analog
port uses the On-Screen Configuration and Activity Reporting interface (OSCAR
®
) for IBM.
For more information, see Chapter 3.
The RCM system uses Ethernet networking infrastructure and TCP/IP protocol
to transmit keyboard, video and mouse information between operators and
connected computers. Although 10BaseT Ethernet can be used, a dedicated,
switched 100BaseT network provides improved performance.
