HARD- AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
To work with the Remote Access Gateway IGW/920 a software development environment is
needed.
This development environment requires a computer as development system to access the
Remote Access Gateway via serial console or Telnet. Therefore usually a PC with Intel Pen-
tium or AMD processor under Windows or Linux is used. This PC should comply with the
following hard- and software requirements:
•
Windows 2000/XP/7 or Linux
•
Serial (COM) interface
•
Terminal program (HyperTerminal or Minicom)
•
10/100 Mbps Ethernet network controller and TCP/IP configuration
•
Web browser
•
Telnet client
•
CD-ROM drive
Please check which IP address your PC actual has. Keep this address in mind.
On a Linux-PC just open a shell console and enter
ifconfig
. On a Windows-PC please
open a DOS window (you can find it in the Windows Start menu) and enter:
ipconfig
.
Now the IP address is displayed in the DOS window.
Note: With a Linux-PC as development system it is possible to develop programs in
all languages for the IGW/920. Linux is especially for programming in C/C++ as PC
operating system required because of the GNU cross tools. With a Windows-PC the
shell-script programming as well as the HTML- and Java-applet programming of the
webserver is possible.
