Run the CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application - Linux

Before you Begin

To access the CommNet Browser from a remote Linux computer, you need the following:

• You must have a Java-enabled web browser with the correct version of JRE installed. See System Requirements - CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application for more information.

To run the CommNet Browser from a remote Linux computer:

1. Create a symlink in the Java plug-in directory of the supported web browser you plan to use.
2. From any computer on the network, open the Java-enabled web browser. 
3. Type the URL of the CommNet Server in the browser.

   By default, the URL is:

   http://<CommNet_Server_name>/<web_alias>

4. The first time you attempt to access the CommServe remotely, the software will check to see whether the Java plug-in is installed. If it is not, you will be given the option to download and install it. 
5. When prompted by the Java plug-in installation window, select the desired location and then follow instructions to download and install it. 
6. If prompted to use the Java plug-in as your default JRE version, click Yes.
7. n the Login dialog box, type the username, password, and CommNet Server name.

   In a few moments, the CommNet Browser will be displayed.
