Web Browser Requirements
You will need a local Windows workstation running a web browser that supports the following:
To view KVM console ports on your local Windows workstation, you will need to run a web browser that has ActiveX enabled. Windows browsers that support ActiveX include Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Netscape 7.1 or greater, and Netscape 8.x.
Caution: Microsoft Internet Explorer update version SP2, does not have ActiveX enabled by default. If you update Internet Explorer, or if you implement a new installation of Internet Explorer, you must be sure to enable ActiveX.
Caution: Browsers other than Internet Explorer are known to have a limitation with logins by more than one user from a single workstation. After the initial login session has started, a subsequent login by a different user will force the previous user to be logged out. This occurs either with more than one session with completely separate browser windows, or with more than one session started in tabs within one browser (e.g., Netscape 8.x).
To view serial console ports, you will need to install Java plug-ins. Java plug-ins are located at:
