128 IBM Tivoli Remote Control Across Firewalls
RC Controller Proxy installation
In our testing scenario the RC Controller Proxy component should be installed on
the 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 a Gateway Proxy
installation, the RC Controller Proxy will be automatically configured as a Child
Proxy. In addition to that, the Gateway Proxy and the RC Controller Proxy share
some TFST libraries and therefore they must have the same label.
Table 4-7 shows the configuration settings we used in our lab for this scenario
during the RC Controller Proxy installation.

(*) This parameter is mandatory during the installation. Since the connection type is
unidirectional and the Relay is configured as listener, port 6020 will never be used.
