What else do I need?
An x86 Linux system compliant with version 1.3 of the Linux Standard Base
for the AEL host environment. Suitable systems include PCs with Debian GNU/Linux,
RedHat Linux, Fedora Core or SUSE Linux.
The Linux system requires a spare RS232 serial port (capable of 115200 bit/s) with a
male DB-9 connector and suitable terminal emulation software, such as minicom.
It is also useful if you can obtain the following information:
•
•
Networking details for the VULCAN. If your network does not have a DHCP server,
ask your network or system administrator for the following:
- IP address and subnet mask (netmask).
- Default gateway IP address (if required).
