... h1. Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Scenario - Messaging Multiplexor (MMP) Front End
h2. Assumptions
This scenario shows how to install the Messaging Multiplexor (MMP) front-end on a separate host. It is based on the _Install MMP front end_ leaf in the [Communications Suite 6 Update 2 Installation Flowchart]. The scenario makes these assumptions:
* You are deploying Communications Suite on multiple hosts or Solaris zones.
* This MMP front end is one functional component of your multi-host deployment.
* You are installing the MMP on a separate host or Solaris zone; you are not bundling the MMP with other Communication Suite products on the same host.
* If you are distributing multiple instances of the MMP partitions across several hosts or zones, you can follow these instructions for each host on which you install the MMP.
* You are installing only the MMP front end; you are not installing message store or SMTP functions.
h2. Which Software Components and Downloads Do You Need?
* Communications Suite: for the Messaging Server MMP front end
