4 SETUP AND OPERATION
B r o w s e r s
Recommended web browsers to run the OM-EM are reasonably current versions of
Netscape Navigator® (latest version is 7.1) or Microsoft® Internet Explorer (latest
version is 7.0). Browser or proxy settings are not required. The latest versions of
these browsers can be downloaded from the following web sites:
• http://www.netscape.com (click on Browser Central)
• http://www.microsoft.com (click on Resources, and then Downloads)
• To view the Java-enabled console, you also must download the Sun® Java
Runtime Environment (JRE), version 1.2.2 or higher (up to 1.5.0). The JRE can be
downloaded from the Sun Web site at: http://java.sun.com/getjava
H a r d w a r e
The OM-EM is like most Windows® applications: the faster the processor and the
greater the memory, the faster the OM-EM will respond. Systems with more than
512 MB and/or more memory are highly recommended. Also, the larger the display
window and/or the higher the resolution, the better the OM-EM display clarity.

OM-EM. However, the Data IP network may also be used (after it is properly
configured). The addressed OM home page appears, as shown in Figure 4-1:
