Notes on CommNet InstallationJREJavaTM Runtime Environment (JRE) SE v1.7.x or higher is recommended. For computers running an Intel Itanium-based operating system, J2SDK1.4 64-bit is required. For computers running a non-Intel Itanium-based operating system, JRE 1.7.x versions are supported. If a JRE version lower than 1.7.x is available, or no version is available at all, you will be prompted to install JRE version 1.7.x If a JRE version 1.7.x or higher is available, the install program will use the existing software. On Macintosh operating systems, JRE software version 1.6.x must be installed prior to installing the CommNet Browser software. On Linux operating systems, JRE software version 1.6.x must be installed prior to installing the CommNet Browser software. If a CommNet Server has both IPv4 and IPv6 sockets enabled, the CommNet Browser will always obtain an IPv4 address. If you wish to obtain and connect with an IPv6 address, the following parameter must be added to the java/javaw command in the Browser's target: -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true For example: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\javaw.exe" -jar cv.jar cranberry 8401 -oemid=1 -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true Note that this configuration is supported for the CommNet Browser as a stand-alone application only. If you are running the CommNet Browser as a remote web-based application, you will always obtain an IPv4 address. For additional information on supported Internet Protocols, refer to the Network Requirements for the Common Technology Engine software. IISIIS is required in the CommNet Server computer (or an alternate computer configured for web administration) to provide the following:
See Web Administration for more information on configuring web administration. If the CommNet Browser software is installed on a computer running IIS version 7.0 or 7.5, the following software components must also be installed and configured along with all default components on the computer:
