Hardware and software requirements

Most Macintosh computers in current use are adequate for accessing the Apple
IP Gateway. Minimum requirements are:

m any Macintosh Plus or later Macintosh computer
m a minimum of 2 megabytes of RAM
m system software version 6.0.5 or later
m MacTCP version 1.1 or later
m AppleTalk version 57.0 or later

Users connecting remotely also need Apple Remote Access software in any
version that is compatible with the Apple Remote Access Personal or MultiPort
Server that the Apple IP Gateway is using. These users will also have to meet
the hardware and software requirements for their Remote Access program.

MacTCP configuration requirements

If your users already have MacTCP installed, or if they are responsible for
obtaining and installing MacTCP on their own, you can simply tell them the
configuration information outlined in this section.

If you intend to supply users with MacTCP, Apple recommends that you
obtain the TCP/IP Administration for Macintosh product along with its
companion, TCP/IP Connection for Macintosh. TCP/IP Connection for
Macintosh is primarily a licensing vehicle, and it is available in a range of
licensing denominations. The MacTCP Administrator’s Guide, supplied with
TCP/IP Administration for Macintosh, contains full information on
configuring and distributing MacTCP client software. TCP/IP Administration
for Macintosh also contains the MacSNMP Admin software and the
MacSNMP Administrator’s Guide, so you will also need the product if you are
planning to take advantage of network management.

See your Apple-authorized reseller for information about TCP/IP Connection
and Administration products and software licensing.

IMPORTANT

You are legally obligated to limit distribution of MacTCP in

accordance with the distribution license that you purchase. This license is only
available with the TCP/IP Connection for Macintosh.
