This chapter contains the following topics:
Installing the JBPC
The QuickStart utility is part of the Java-Based Pipeline Configurator (JBPC).
You can access the JBPC in these ways:
•
The JBPC is shipped on the Pipeline Companion CD-ROM, and can be run
from the CD without installing the software onto your computer.
Alternatively, you can install the JBPC and run it from your computer.
•
You can download the latest version of the JBPC from ftp.ascend.com /pub/
Software-Releases/PL_CDROM.
To install from the CD, insert the Pipeline Companion CD into your computer’s
CD drive. If your computer’s operating system is Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0,
or Macintosh, the CD’s AutoPlay feature presents a selection menu when you
insert the disc. The selection menu leads you through the contents of the CD,
starting with the location of the Java-based Pipeline Configurator. Follow the on-
screen instructions.
