Raptor's software products require two SPARC compatible
workstations running SUN-OS Version 4.1 or greater, two RS/6000
workstations running AIX Version 3.2 or greater, or two Hewlett-Packard
9000/7xx workstations. You can combine any two of these hardware
platforms to create your Eagle system if you wish, but this
requires a customized installation not supported by the standard
Eagle installation software. The first of the
two workstations serves as the G Box, and the second as
the A Box. The purpose of these machines is
described in Chapter .
The Gateway computer must have dual ethernet cards, a minimum or 400 megabytes of disk space, and 32 megabytes of memory. We do not recommend that customers use low-end equipment for the Gateway computer, particularly if your network is large. The Authorization computer must have a minimum of 400 megabytes of disk space, and 16 megabytes of memory. Although the Authorization computer need not be as powerful and as fully equipped as the Gateway computer, Raptor Systems recommends that the Authorization computer be the same model as the Gateway box, and that it be equipped with the same hardware, in order that you may be able to use it as a substitute Gateway computer in the event of hardware malfunction. A serial cable with a null modem is required to setup a private link between the Gateway to the Authorization computer.
