Supported Servers

iControl version 4.40 is supported on the following Application Servers:

Dell PowerEdge 850/860/R200/R210/R310.

For optimal performance, Miranda recommends that your Application Servers meet the

following system requirements:

Software Requirements

Connect to the iControl Application Server from any client PC on their network. The first step is

to obtain the host name or IP address of the iControl Application Server. Once you connect to

an Application Server IP address, you can download iControl applications to your client PC.

Once launched, the software will continue to run on your PC, communicating with distributed

network applications that may or may not reside on the Application Server where the initial

connection was made.

To run any application in the iControl suite, you need to have the following software installed

on your PC:

• a Web browser (Internet Explorer version 8.0 or Mozilla Firefox 3.6)

• Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later. A Java update (which includes Java

Web Start) can be downloaded by following the “Useful Downloads” link on the iControl

Application Server Startup page, and should be installed on client PCs prior to operating

iControl.

it is important to clear the Internet Explorer cache.

Compatibility mode (see the iControl Quick Start Guide for detailed information).
