Java Plug-in

The A-Series tape drive utilizes a Web-based interface allowing you to

manage the tape drive from a remote workstation on the same network.
The tape drive is configured and managed through Web pages accessible

by Internet browser software installed on the host computer.
The only software required on your system is the Java Plug-in. The

Java

Plug-in

is the virtual machine software that allows the execution of Java

applets.

The Java Plug-in

2

The Java FTP client needs the Java Virtual Machine to run. This

Java Plug-

in

is provided by Sun Microsystems.

The Java FTP client will install immediately. When you load the Java FTP

client for the first time, a display window may ask you to download and

install the Java plug-in. If you need that plug-in you can just follow the

instructions on the screen or go to

www.java.com

to download it.

If you have

Java Plug-in

version 1.5 or later or the

Java Runtime

Environment

version 1.5 or later installed on your computer, you should

not need to download new software. The plug-in should activate on your

Web browser automatically once installed. For Mac OSX, the supported

JRE version is 1.4.2.

Certificate of Security

2

Since the Java FTP client reaches the local directories of your computer, a

certificate of security is required. When the Java FTP client is loaded, the

Java Plug-in

displays a window prompting you to accept our certificate of

security (see

figure 2

).
