Configuring the SDLT 600A Tape Drive

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

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.
