Installing Fabric Manager
Preparing to use Fabric Manager to manage your fabric requires the
following steps:
• installation of one of the supported web browsers on the workstation, if
not already installed
• configuration of the web browser for use with Fabric Manager
• installation of the required Java Plug-in on the workstation, if not
already installed
• installation of Fabric Manager on the computer to be used as a
workstation
Installing a Web Browser
Install one of the following browsers, if not already installed:
• Netscape Communicator 4.51 or later (available at
http://www.netscape.com
)
• Internet Explorer 4.01 or later (available at
http://www.microsoft.com
)
Configuring the Web Browser
Specific browser settings are required for the correct operation of Fabric
Manager with either Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer.
Configuring Netscape Communicator
The web browser cache must be cleared after the installation of Fabric OS.
The browser can use local cache copies of jar files and image files to
improve performance (depending on options selected in the browser),
which can cause incorrect display.
To remove cached files from Netscape Communicator:
1. Select Edit > Preferences.
2. Click Advanced in the left text box to expand it, then click Cache.
3. On the Cache panel, click Clear Memory Cache.
