Standalone Raritan Serial Client Requirements
The following requirements must be met to support the Raritan Serial
Console:
 The RSC will function with JRE
™
version 1.4.2_05 or later (except for
JRE version 1.5.0_02) . However, for optimum performance,
Raritan recommends using JRE 1.5.0 (except version 1.5.0_02).
 Your system may require configuration adjustments depending on
the operating system and browser. The JRE provides configuration
instructions with the JRE download. See
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml \o
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) to determine
the JRE version currently installed on your system.
If you do not have a compatible version of the JRE, go to
http://www.java.com (http://www.java.com) and click the
Download Now button.
Note: Raritan does not support JRE version 1.5.0_02 for use with the
RSC.
 Minimum 1 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM.
 Ensure that Java
™
can be started from the command line. To do this,
you must configure environment variables. Make a note of the
exact path where Java was installed (the path information will be
used later).
