Installing the SSL Gateway on a Linux PC
Initial consideration
x SSL Gateway must be in installed on PC running OpenSUSE 12.3
x Minimum hardware requirement - 1 Gbps processor, 2 GB memory
x SSL Gateway software is 32 bit so will run on 32 or 64 bit Linux (64 bit is recommended if a choice is
available)
x Can reside on the same PC as S8000 and/or Vision (except Vision Call Centre)
x Linux configuration:
x The IP address of the SSL Gateway is the IP address of the Linux PC. This IP address must be
associated with eth0.
x DHCP, IP routing, DNS, NFS Server and NTP services are all configured within Linux
x The Linux PC must have a User called “splicecom”. It is recommended that Auto Login is turned
off for this User account.
x You will need to know the root password to enter and execute Terminal commands during
installation and configuration.
x Ensure that the Firewall available on the Linux PC is turned off
x Enable Remote Administration (VNC)
x Enable the sshd service
x Ensure that Linux PC does not hibernate or shut down
x During the installation the Linux PC must be connected to the Internet or have access to the Linux
installation CD
Installing the software
1 Copy the SSL Gateway software onto the Linux PC
2 Via Terminal go to the directory where the software is stored

6 Enter sudo ./install.SUSE
(use this command if you are using the Linux installation CD)
or
Enter sudo ./install.SUSE - net
(use this command if the installation files are to be retrieved via the Internet, preferred method)
7 Once the Installation complete message is displayed and the prompt has returned the following
commands will configure the Linux PC to communicate with the Call Server
8 Enter sudo vi /etc/xinetd.d/upcs
