If, during DPE installation, the installation program detects the presence of a TFTP server running
on the same computer that the DPE being installed on, the installation is immediately terminated
and an error message appears on screen.
Key Distribution Center (KDC). For maximum performance and segmentation of the network, you
may install one KDC instance per provisioning group. The KDC, along with the DPE registration
service, handles the authentication of all PacketCable voice technology MTAs. When a laboratory
installation is performed, the KDC is installed on the lab computer. For performance reasons
however, in a component installation, the KDC should be installed on a separate server. The KDC
component requires a license.
The KDC and DPE have service keys that are required to allow them to communicate.
Installing the RDU on a Solaris 8 or 9 server.
Installing the Network Registrar extensions on a Network Registrar server or servers.
Installing the DPE on Solaris Sparc computers running Solaris 8 or Solaris 9.
