126 IBM Tivoli Remote Control Across Firewalls
RC Target Proxy installation
In our testing scenario the RC Target Proxy component should be installed on
Windows 2000 Server operating system. The installation is performed using the
Install Shield mechanism running the setup.exe command from the IBM Tivoli
Remote Control 3.8 media as follows:
<CD-ROM drive>\new\RCPROXY\w32-ix86\setup.exe
As soon as the installation process starts, it automatically detects the TFST code
already installed on the machine. Since this installation detects an Endpoint
Proxy installation, the RC Target Proxy will be automatically configured as a
Parent Proxy.
Table 4-5 shows the configuration settings we used in our lab for this scenario
during the RC Target Proxy installation.

unidirectional and the RC Target Proxy is configured as initiator, port 6020 will never be
used.
