System Requirements and Prerequisites
This chapter summarizes the system requirements and prerequisites of the Cisco SCE 2000 platform.

Overall System Requirements

• The SCE platform—Local console or management workstation connected to LAN.

These sections describe the SCA BB system requirements:
• Hardware Requirements, page 43
Operating System Requirements, page 43
•
Java Runtime Environment, page 43
•
Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements are:
• At least 1024 MB RAM is required to run the Console.
• Minimal supported screen resolution for the Console is 1024 x 768 pixels.
Operating System Requirements
The Cisco SCA BB Console can run on Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
Java Runtime Environment
If you are using the optional SCA BB Service Configuration Utility, servconf, it requires access to JRE version 1.6.
You can download a JRE from the Sun™ website at http://java.com/en/download/.
To verify that the JRE is installed, run java-version at the command prompt. The Java version should start with 1.6.
If a different version of JRE is also installed on the workstation, you may need to tell servconf where to find the appropriate
JRE. Do this configuration by setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JRE 1.6 installation directory. For
example:
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.6_08
