Release 4.2 07/08 11
1 Opening the Web-based Inter-
face
To open the Web-based interface, you will need a Web browser (a program
that can read hypertext), for example Mozilla Firefox version 1 or later, or
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or later.
Note: The Web-based interface uses the “Java™ Runtime Environment Ver-
sion 1.4.2.x, 1.5.x or 6.x” plug-in. If it is not installed on your computer yet, it
will be installed automatically via the Internet when you start the Web-based
interface for the first time. This installation is very time-consuming.
For Windows users: cancel the installation. Install the plug-in from the
enclosed CD-ROM. To do this, you go to “Additional Software”, select Java
Runtime Environment and click on “Installation”.
Figure 1: Installing Java
Start your Web browser.
Make sure that you have activated JavaScript and Java in the security
settings of your browser.
