Requirements and Considerations

Read this section before beginning the RealPort driver installation.

• The Solaris RealPort device driver works with Solaris (SPARC) and Solaris (Intel) operating systems. The earliest versions of Solaris the device driver supports are Solaris 2.3 on the SPARC platform and Solaris 2.4 on the Intel platform. For the latest versions of Solaris supported, see the Release Notes.
• Installing the RealPort software on a Solaris host where RealPort has already been installed will overwrite the existing RealPort configuration on that host. If a Digi One RealPort or PortServer is added to an existing RealPort configuration, the software must be reinstalled and all the Digi One RealPorts or PortServers must be configured again. It is best to configure extra Digi One RealPorts or PortServers during the initial RealPort configuration. By doing this, additional Digi One RealPorts or PortServers can be connected later without reinstalling the driver.
• The Digi RealPort device driver for Solaris is an installable device driver; the software development system is not required to create a new kernel.
