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 Confi guration 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.

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.
