Special Installation Notes

Stop all sx25 software before installing another version of the software. AIX version 4.1.5, 4.2.1, 4.3.1 or higher is required to install and run the AIXlink/X.25 product.

When applying updates (ie. using PTFs) to the AIXLink/X.25 product, the X.25 configuration may be lost. Therefore, use the backupx25 command to backup your configuration.
A migration (i.e., using install images) should retain your configuration, but to be on the safe side, do a backupx25 anyway.

Use of AIXlink/X.25 with the IBM ARTIC960 Microchannel adapter or the IBM ARTIC960Hx 4-Port Selectable PCI adapter requires the installation of device support for the adapter, which is packaged on a diskette that is shipped with the adapter. The IBM ARTIC960 AIX Support Program (devices.artic960.rte) must be at level 1.3.1.0 or higher. The devices.artic960 image is also included on the AIXlink/X.25 LPP Version 1.1.5.0 CD for your convenience.
