Configuring the Web Browser

Web Tools software has been preinstalled at the factory.

If the following software is not already installed and configured on your system, you will have to preform the following steps to prepare Web Tools for use to manage your fabric:

◆Installation of one of the supported web browsers on the workstation, if not already installed.

◆Configuration of the web browser for use with Web Tools.

◆Installation of the required Java Plug-in on the workstation, if not already installed.

If not already installed, install one of the following browsers:

◆Netscape Communicator 4.51 or later (available at http://www.netscape.com).

◆Internet Explorer 4.01 or later (available at http://www.microsoft.com).

Specific browser settings are required for the correct operation of Web Tools with either Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer.

Configuring Netscape Communicator

Step 1 The web browser cache must be cleared after the installation of Fabric OS version 2.3. Some browsers use local cache copies of jar files and/or image files to improve performance (depending on the options selected in browser), which can cause incorrect display in Web Tools.

To remove cached files from Netscape Communicator:

1.Select Edit, Preferences.

2.Select Advanced in the left text box to expand it, then click Cache.

3.On the Cache panel, select Clear Memory Cache.

4.Click Clear Disk Cache.
