Java Installation
On non-Windows clients, the Video Viewer, Telnet and VNC Viewers require Java version 1.5.
The Telnet/SSH applet may work with other versions; the Video Viewer requires that version.
On Windows clients, Java is required to run the Avocent Telnet/SSH Viewer. If the Win32
PuTTY Telnet/SSH Viewer is selected in the user’s profile, then Java is not required on the
client. On a Windows client, it is recommended that the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) 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 can
configure Java to find the JRE.
To configure Java to find the JRE:
1. Access the Java Control Panel.
2. Select the Java tab.
3. In the Java Application Runtime Settings panel, click View.
4. Change the path to the installed JRE.
5. Click OK.
