Requires one standard System i V.24 SDLC communications line and one ECS (or Hayes® compatible) modem (or a properly configured SMTP e-mail connection to the Internet). Works with all alphanumeric and  two-way pagers, properly equipped cellular phones, and smartphones (like BlackBerry®).

ACO PAGER™, ACO NET™, ACO ESI™, and ACO CLIENT™ execute on System i® systems (all models) running V5R4M0 (or higher). ACO Client™ requires WebSphere® Application Server 6.1 (or higher), WebSphere® Application Server - Express, or any Java 1.4 (or higher) compliant web application server like Apache. ACO ESI™ requires a separately licensed copy of ACO PAGER™ and a separately licensed copy of IBM Tivoli® 6.2 (or higher) or BMC Patrol Enterprise Manager®. Your enterprise system software may also require the purchase of other hardware and licensed software. This hardware and software is available from IBM (or other business partners) at an additional fee and is not included in the purchase of the ACO ESI™ software product. ACO ESI™ optionally monitors your network connected Windows® servers using a Windows compliant software agent.  The Windows® agent software is available for purchase (at a nominal fee) from one of our business partners. This particular configuration does not require an enterprise system (like IBM Tivoli®).
