1.1 Preparation before installation
This section describes the preparations required before installing JP1/IM and its prerequisite product JP1/Base.

Configuring the OS environment necessary for installation
You must perform the following according to the Release Notes for JP1/IM - Manager and JP1/IM - View:
-
Apply the service packs and patches required by JP1/IM to the OS.
-
(Linux only) Adjust kernel parameters according to the configuration of JP1/IM.
Setting ports used by JP1/IM
If you use JP1/IM on a host set up as a firewall, make sure that traffic in the local host through all ports used by JP1/IM can pass through the firewall. For details about the direction of communication through a firewall, see D.3 Direction of communication through a firewall.
Setting name resolution
Make sure that the hosts in the system can perform unique name resolution with each other.
(Linux only) Confirming that the local host is available for name resolution
Use the ping command to confirm that the host name of the local host can be resolved with an IP address (other than a loopback address) in the connected LAN environment. If name resolution is not possible, JP1/Base does not operate normally. Revise the hosts file settings.
