I.  PRODUCT OVERVIEW - HP IP CONSOLE VIEWER 2.00
    ============================================
The HP IP Console Viewer is a cross-platform management application that allows
the user to view, control, and group console switches and the servers that are
attached to them.

From the IP Console Viewer, the user can easily perform tasks such as managing
a console switch, launching a video session to a server, or installing new
console switches. Built-in groupings, such as console switches and servers,
provide an easy way to view the console switches and servers. The user can also
create custom groupings of console switches and servers by adding folders that
store shortcuts. Additional groupings are provided based on the custom fields
that the user assigns.

V.  INSTALLATION
    ============
	The following section outlines the procedures for installing and launching
	the IP Console Viewer in Windows and Linux operating systems.

	Windows Operating Systems
	To install on a Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP platform:

	Adjust the mouse acceleration, through the local port, on servers attached
	to analog switch ports. 
	NOTE: HP recommends that all Windows systems attached to the console switch
	use the default Windows PS/2 mouse driver.
	To adjust the mouse acceleration for Windows NT 4.0 (using default drivers):
	NOTE: This process must be done for any Windows NT user account that
	accesses the Windows NT system through the IP Console Switch.

	From the desktop, select Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click
	the Mouse icon.
	Select the Motion tab.
	Set pointer speed to Slow.

	To adjust the mouse acceleration for Windows 2000:
	From the desktop, select Start, Settings, Control Panel, and double-click
	the Mouse icon.
	Select the Motion tab.
	Set the acceleration speed to None and the Speed setting to 50% (default).

	Insert the IP Console Viewer into the CD-ROM drive. If AutoPlay is
	supported and enabled, the setup program starts automatically. If the
	system does not support AutoPlay, set the default drive to the CD-ROM drive
	letter and execute the following command to start the install program:

	CD-ROM drive:\WIN32\SETUP.EXE
	Follow the on-screen instructions.

	Linux Operating Systems
	To install on a Linux (7.2 and 7.3) platform:

	Adjust the mouse acceleration, through the local port, on servers attached
	to analog switch ports. 
 
	From the GNOME desktop, click main menu.
	From the main menu task list, select Programs.
	From the Programs task list, select Settings.
	From the Settings task list, select Peripherals.
	From the Peripherals task list, select Mouse. The Mouse Configuration window
	is displayed. In this window the user can set the mouse to be either
	right-handed or left-handed, as well as adjust the mouse motion by changing
	the acceleration and/or threshold.

	Insert the IP Console Viewer into the CD-ROM. If AutoPlay is supported and 
	enabled, the setup program starts automatically. If the system does not
	support AutoPlay, mount the CD-ROM volume by executing the following
	command:

	mount -t iso9660 -ro mode=0555 <device> <mount point>

	Replace <device> with the name of the CD-ROM on the machine, and replace
	<mount point> with the name of the desired mount point.

	For example, to mount a CD-ROM, which is the second IDE device on/mnt,
	execute the command:

	mount -t iso9660 -ro mode=0555 /dev/hdb /mnt

	Execute the following command to change the working directory to the
	mount point:

	cd /mnt

	Execute the following command to start the install program:

	sh ./linux/setup.bin

	Follow the on-screen instructions.
