4.2 Connect
The Serial Console provides web-based access to a target serial device without requiring
a separate Telnet client program. This is done through a Java.
A Java applet is used to provide the text-based user interface to access the serial port.
This Java applet supports only Telnet in Console Server mode. The user cannot access
the serial port via the web when the host mode of the port is set to Raw TCP connection.
The user is asked to enter user ID and password to access the port. Once authenticated,
the user now has access to the serial port.
Use the hyperlink located at the bottom of the Connect Page to test your Java compatibility.

Make sure that you enable your browser’s Java support option and also check your Java
Runtime Environment version (known as JRE version). You will need version 1.6.0 or
above if you also need secure HTTP service (https).
Notes:
In order to run this function, the system requires installing JRE
(Java Runtime Environment) 6.0 and above. You can get the Java
Software from the website http://www.java.com/en/download/
