Chapter 16. Using Java Console to Remotely Access a
Service Processor with a Web Browser
Java Console on a remote workstation (as an applet or as a program) provides a
link for controlling a service processor across the network. Java Console can
access the service processor over two types of network connection:
This section includes procedures for configuring the Java Console link using a web
browser. Procedures include:
The procedure for initiating a link with Java Console are the same unless otherwise
noted. However, the procedures for configuring a remote workstation and service
processor are different according to the type of link established on the network. To
proceed, see one of the following:
For the procedure on installing Java Console as a program on your workstation,
see "Installing Java Console as a Program on a Remote Workstation" on
page 17-1.

Remote Workstation Requirements

Java Console runs on the following platforms:
With any of the platforms listed above, the workstation requires a Web browser,
and Java 1.1 (or later). Recommended Web browsers include:
1 Service processors 3172, 7585, and 6275 are shipped with an asynchronous modem. However, if you are using a service
processor with an integrated modem, you will not be able to configure a workstation modem for Java Console access.
