Promise Technology 15110 Internet Browser, Before you start…, Install WebPAM PRO, Windows, Linux

Chapter 2: Installation

Internet Browser

Typically an Internet browser comes with your operating system. WebPAM PRO does not include a browser. For computers that will remotely monitor and manage the RAID, the Internet Browser is the only software required.

Your Internet Browser provides the means for you to monitor and configure your Promise RAID products using WebPAM PRO. You can use the most recent versions of either Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.

Before you start…

1.Obtain the IP addresses of these devices:

•The PC or server where you plan to install WebPAM PRO

•The VTrak(s) you plan to monitor

2.If you are planning to use other applications that rely on JRE or JDK, always install them first before you install WebPAM PRO. WebPAM PRO will use the existing JRE rather than installing a second one.

WebPAM PRO will install JRE 1.4 on your system unless you already have JRE or JDK versions 1.3.0 or 1.4.
