System Requirements - CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application

Stand Alone Application Remote Web Based Application  

The following requirements are for the CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application:

Supported Web Browsers

Linux

Mozilla 1.x

Netscape 6.2

Windows

Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) versions 5.01, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0

Operating System

The CommNet Console as a Remote Web-Based Application is supported on any operating system running a supported Java-enabled web browser.

Miscellaneous

IIS

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:

  • ASP
  • ASP.NET
  • IIS 6 Management Capability

JRE

Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7.0_17 or higher recommended.
If a JRE version 1.7.0_17 or higher is available, the software will use the existing JRE software.

If the above version is not available, the Browser will automatically download the latest version from the appropriate Sun website.

In some environments, it might be necessary to configure the System Settings so that netscape is recognized as an executable command. This can be done by adding the installation path of Netscape to the System PATH variable as follows:

export $PATH=$PATH:<netscape_installation_path>

IIS is required in the CommNet Server computer (or an alternate computer configured for web administration) to provide the following:
  • Remote administration capability using the CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application
  • View reports from a remote computer
  • Launch the Books Online from the CommNet Browser

See Web Administration for more information on configuring web administration.

Java plug-in is not supported on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 editions. To run CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application, you need to install 32-bit JRE on 64-bit machines.
