Software Installation
All of the routers in Compatible Systems' internetworking and VPN
families, including all RISC Router and MicroRouter models, can be
managed from a single GUI management platform called Compati-
View. CompatiView for Windows is included on the CD-ROM which
was shipped with your MicroRouter 1220i.
Note: An older version of CompatiView for Mac OS was included
v
on the CD-ROM shipped with your router, but does not contain some of
the features of the newest Windows version.

CompatiView for Windows allows you to manage the MicroRouter
1220i from an IBM-compatible PC running Windows 95/98 or
Windows NT. The PC can either be configured as an IPX client on a
Novell NetWare internet, or as an IP WinSock client on an IP internet.

• IBM PC or compatible w/486 or later processor
• Microsoft Windows 95/98, or Windows NT installed
• VGA or better monitor
• IP - A WinSock-compatible transport stack
- and/or -
• IPX - A Netware or Microsoft Client installation
Note: To choose the active transport protocol on a Windows
v
machine which has both IPX and IP installed, select "Options" from
the Administration menu and click the appropriate radio button under
"Default Transport."

Installation and Operation

The Windows version of the CompatiView program can be found in the
Network Management/CompatiView/Windows directory on the
CD-ROM that was included with your MicroRouter 1220i.
