The HTML5 virtual console and virtual media APIs are created by using HTML5 technology. The following are the advantages of
HTML5 technology:
• Installation is not required on the client workstation.
• Compatibility is based on browser and is not based on the operating system or installed components.
• Compatible with most of the desktops and mobile platforms.
• Quick deployment and the client is downloaded as part of a web page.
You must configure Internet Explorer (IE) settings before you launch and run HTML5 based virtual console and virtual media
applications. To configure the browser settings:
1. Disable pop-up blocker. To do this, click Tools → Internet Options → Privacy and clear the Turn on Pop-up Blocker check-
box.
2. Start the HTML5 virtual console using any of the following methods:
• In IE, click Tools → Compatibility View Settings and clear the Display intranet sites in Compatibility View check-box.
• In IE using an IPv6 address, modify the IPv6 address as follows:
https://[fe80::d267:e5ff:fef4:2fe9]/
literal.net/
to https://fe80--d267-e5ff-fef4-2fe9.ipv6-
