Launching the SMIA Configuration Tool remote client
The remote client link in the Start menu does not automatically upgrade when you upgrade the
Management application. You must clear the previous version from the Java cache. To clear the
previous version, refer to “Clearing previous versions of the remote client” on page 26.
The remote client requires Oracle JRE. For the current supported JRE version for Network Advisor,
refer to the Release Notes. For the website listing patch information, go to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
1. Choose one of the following options:
•Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the Network Advisor server in the Address
bar.
If the web server port number does not use the default (443 if is SSL Enabled; otherwise,
the default is 80), you must enter the web server port number in addition to the IP
address. For example, IP_Address:Port_Number.
