Recommended PC Specification

The following is the recommended PC specification to allow configuration and viewing of the unit
using a browser interface and also viewing and control from the NetVu ObserVer application:
Operating System
Processor
System RAM
Screen Resolution
Colour Depth
Browser
JRE
* Although the system will operate on lower specification computers the above is
recommended to provide high performance video quality and update rates. If lower
specification processors are used this could affect the overall performance of the computer
WARNING: For a web browser to correctly operate with unit, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) which is
contained in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on each PC that will
be used to access unit. The JVM enables Java components in web pages to operate as
intended by Dedicated Micros. A version of Java Runtime Environment may be downloaded
from http://java.sun.com
The Java Virtual Machine is one aspect of Java software used in web interaction. The Java Virtual
Machine is built into the Java software download, and helps the Sun JRE run Java applications.
Administration rights will be required to install JRE onto a Windows 2000 or Windows XP machine.
The JRE can be loaded using one of three methods, Automatic, Manual or Offline.
Automatic installation will require the machine stays connected to the internet whilst the software is
loaded directly from the web. This method requires no user intervention.
Manual installation downloads a small program from the web, which will fetch the required files from
the web when it is run. It offers more control over the installed options than the Automatic method.
Offline installation will download all the required files onto the computer before commencing
installation. This file can then be run when the computer is not connected to the internet, and copied
onto other machines without internet access, if necessary.
The software on the unit is written for the Sun Java Machine, and the Microsoft Java Machine should
be disabled for optimum reliability.
You can switch between the Sun Java Virtual Machine and the Microsoft VM. The Sun JVM can be
enabled and disabled without having to uninstall it. Switching back and forth between these Virtual
Machines can be done through the Advanced tab in your Windows Internet Options Control Panel,
OR by using the Java Control Panel.
Note: It is good practice to check both locations.
To switch between the Sun JVM and Microsoft VM using Internet Options:
1 Open Control Panel by clicking Start->Settings->Control Panel
2 Open the Internet Options window by double clicking Internet Options
3 Click the Advanced Tab
4 Find the "Java (Sun)" item and check or uncheck the checkbox which says "Use Java 2
v 1.4.x for applet (requires restart)"
