Download the software

The manufacturer releases a new version once a year. It should be noted that only patches are fully compatible with each other.
The patch level is the fourth digit in the ISP version number: 8.1.24.1 has patch level 1 and is fully compatible with 8.1.24.2.
However, new ISP versions are usually only backwards compatible with previous versions. 8.1 is the ISP version and 24 are minor version changes/improvements.
Backwards compatible means that 8.1.24 can access data written by 8.1.20, but 8.1.20 cannot access data written by 8.1.24.

We recommend using the latest ISP version unless there are compelling reasons (e.g. the lack of support for a very old operating system version in a new ISP client) that prevent the latest version from being used.

* The GUI client has the java-21 package as a dependency as of version 8.1.23. Versions prior to Red Hat 8.9 and SUSE Linux 15 do not have this package in their repositories and therefore cannot use the GUI client. To use it under older versions, version 8.1.22 is recommended.

Installation of the software

  1. Open the command line and change to the download directory
    The client is downloaded as a tar file. The name of the tar file has the form <version>-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar, e.g. 8.1.24.0-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar for ISP client version 8.1.24.
    To install, open the command line and obtain root rights. Then change to the directory in which the <version>-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar you have just downloaded is located.
    Unless there are compelling reasons not to do so, it is recommended to keep the default installation path in the following. 

    sudo -i 															# Get root priviligescd /home/service/Desktop
    cd /home/service/Desktop/					                		# Example, if the file <Version>-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar was downloaded to /home/service/Desktop/
  2. Unpack tar file
    tar xvf 8.1.24.0-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar 					    	# Unpacks e.g. the ISP client 8.1.24
  3. Install the 64bit versions of the GSKit packages
    rpm -ivh gskcrypt64_*.linux.x86_64.rpm gskssl64_*.linux.x86_64.rpm  # Installs the GSKit packages  
  4. Install the 64bit version of ISP
    rpm –ivh TIVsm-API64.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-APIcit.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-BA.x86_64.rpm TIVsm-BAcit.x86_64.rpm 
    
  5. Install Java for the ISP GUI 
    The ISP client up to and including 8.1.22 officially supports Java 7 and Java 8, but we have also tested the client with newer Java versions and have not experienced any problems.
    Java Semeru 21 is used from version 8.1.23, which creates a dependency on the java-21 package. As Red Hat only includes this in their repositories from version 8.9 and SUSE Linux from version 15, the GUI of the ISP client can only be used from these versions onwards.
    If this is required on an earlier Red Hat or SUSE Linux version, ISP version 8.1.22 is recommended.
