Installation Steps
3WXM version 5.0 provides a Java-based version of the 3WXM Client,
the Web-Start client.
The Web-Start client simplifies installation and upgrade of the client.
Because the client and server versions must match, an upgrade to 3WXM
Services requires an upgrade of the client on each machine to the same
version.
The versions of the client and server also must match when the client is
Java-based. However, you can easily install the Web-Start client simply by
browsing to the server and clicking an option. You do not need to install
from the product CD or an installation executable stored on a file server.
The appearance and options in the Java version of the client are identical
to those in the standard version.
A Java plug-in is required. You cannot launch the Web-Start client using a
Java-enabled web browser.
One of the following browsers is required:
Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or higher
To install the Web-Start client:
1 Use a browser to establish a secure (HTTPS) connection to the host
running 3WXM Services.
2 Select the Home option.
3 Click Launch Client.
