NOTE: Files are copied to DSView software clients when you log in to the DSView software. When using Internet
Explorer, temporary files may be removed by selecting the Delete Temporary Internet Files command and active
web components may be uninstalled by selecting the Remove Objects command. See the Internet Explorer
documentation for more information.
Java Installation
The Video Viewer and the Telnet Viewer clients require Java when launched from the Mozilla,
Netscape or Firefox browsers. The supported Java version is 1.5.0_02. The Telnet Viewer may
work with other versions; the Video Viewer requires that version.
The DSView software client automatically downloads and installs the JRE (Java Runtime
Environment) the first time the Video Viewer or Telnet Viewer is launched.
On a Windows client, it is recommended that the JRE be installed in the C:\Program Files\ location.
If your system automatically installs programs in another location, you may not be able to launch
the Video Viewer. In this case, you should access the Java Web Start console, select File -
Preferences - Java, and then set the installed location of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
Only one version of the JRE can be installed in the browser for DSView software support.
Depending on your system’s configuration, you may have to log in as the root user to install the
JRE. See your system administrator if you need assistance.
To install on a Windows client without JRE previously installed:
1. From a Units View window, click an Action link that will launch the Telnet Viewer or the
Video Viewer.
2. A window will open, containing a link for downloading the JRE installer. Download the JRE
installer, then close all browser windows.
