APM System Installation Manual INTRODUCTION
Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
The Open Application Interface (OAI) physical architecture provides a link 
between the NEC NEAX 2400 switching family and one or more general purpose 
computers. The general purpose computer, or User Application Processor (UAP) 
as it is referred to throughout this manual, provides a powerful processing platform 
for the introduction of new switching features via an Ethernet communication link. 
Figure 1-1 illustrates the simplicity of this architecture.
Figure 1-1   Open Application Interface (OAI) Architecture
The UAP, equipped with the Application Manager (APM) Platform, provides the 
necessary system configuration, installation controls, system logging, error 
recovery management, and communications required to support OAI and non-OAI 
applications. For complete details of the APM environment, refer to the APM 
Operations Manual and other OAI-related documentation.
Ty p i c a l  UA P
The following hardware components are required to provide the full functionality 
of what is referred to in this manual as a “typical UAP”:
 a 386/486/Pentium-based PC
 an Ethernet (TCP/IP) communication card
 a 130 MB or larger hard disk
 a VGA graphics card and color monitor
 a line printer
 the SCO UNIX System V/386 Operating System (OS).

INTRODUCTION APM System Installation Manual
This profile of a typical UAP serves as a base of reference for the process of 
installing the required hardware and software. Any deviation from this system 
profile or the software associated to it in this manual may result in the need to adapt 
the instructions provided in this manual. It is important to ensure that the 
components chosen for installation are supported with manufacturer 
documentation and software drivers that operate within the SCO UNIX 
environment.
Sequential Step-by-Step Process
The installation procedures described in this manual are sequential. The success of 
each step is, in large part, dependent upon the success of the preceding step(s). 
Therefore, each step in the sequence must be performed completely and tested 
thoroughly before the next step is begun.
The sequence of steps is shown below in Figure 1-2:

STEP 1
This step involves installing the baseline hardware, formatting the hard
drive, and configuring the systems internal memory with the correct 
settings required for the peripherals installed. 
STEP 2
This step involves installation of the SCO UNIX Operating System which 
requires preparing the hard disk, defining the file systems, and 
installing the software.

APM System Installation Manual INTRODUCTION
Sequential Organization of Manual
The chapters in this manual correspond to this sequence of steps.
1.Introduction — This chapter introduces the basic OAI/APM architecture, the 
requirements of a typical-UAP system, the step-by-step and sequential 
installation process described in this manual, and useful information on how 
this manual should be used to assist in the installation process.
2.Baseline System — This chapter supplements manufacturer guides simply by 
introducing order to the installation of the required hardware and its baseline 
configuration.
3.Operating System — This chapter supplements manufacturer installation 
guidelines for SCO UNIX System V/386. The complete installation procedure 
is presented with the normal decision criteria answered for a typical UAP.
4.APM Platform — This chapter covers the steps necessary to install the APM 
Platform. This installation represents the heart of the OAI environment. It 
should not be attempted until the previous components have been installed and 
tested.
5.Troubleshooting Issues — This chapter discusses a few concerns that may 
arise during the course of the installation.
Chapter Layout
Each chapter in the sequenced installation process introduces the step discussed in 
the chapter, discusses any materials or preparation required to perform the step, 
indicates the necessary status of the system before the step can be performed, 
presents or refers to a detailed procedural guide to performance of the step, and, in 
some cases, describes testing methods for verifying success of the installation step. 
Each chapter, then, contains the following sections:
Introduction — This section introduces the system component that is covered 
in the chapter. It also addresses the general purpose of the given component 
within the scope of the APM Platform.
Necessary Materials — Specific configuration issues are addressed with 
suggested parameters for a typical UAP installation. Any installation media and 
documentation that may be required is identified.
Necessary Preparation — This section provides a reference for the required 
status of the UAP before installing the given component. It also discusses any 
preparations that should be completed before beginning the installation 
procedure.
Installation Procedure — A step-by-step installation procedure is provided in 
this section. Each step is presented under a dedicated subheading with all 
supporting decision criteria explained and further illustrated in figures that 
show expected display sequences.
Optional Testing — Most chapters include simplified test criteria for the given 
component. In most cases the component installation can be verified by 
observing the information displayed during a boot process. This section offers 
the minimal amount of testing that should be completed before going onto the 
next step.

INTRODUCTION APM System Installation Manual
Use of Figures and Typefaces
Throughout this document, figures are used to show actual UAP display sequences, 
including prompts and user input at those prompts. System-supplied data in these 
figures is typically represented in plain typeface whereas user-supplied data is 
represented in boldface type. Wherever user input is variable (i.e., what is shown 
is only an example), mention is made of that fact in the narrative description that 
accompanies the display. Partial display sequences are illustrated via incomplete 
display figures as shown below. Irrelevant or unimportant screen information may 
be replaced with three vertical dots within a figure to show the incomplete nature 
of the display.
References
Manufacturer installation guides that are provided with each hardware component 
should be considered the primary references in the installation of the components 
which they accompany. The guidelines presented in this manual supplement these 
documents with supporting procedures and configuration information that must be 
addressed to meet minimum system requirements. The following documentation 
should prove most helpful to the installation processes described in this manual:
• NEC America Inc. Documentation 
OAI Module Installation Manual for the NEAX2400 IMS.
OAI Concept Manual.
Applications Manager (APM) Operations Manual.
