Overview
The standalone Raritan Serial Console (RSC) is used to make direct
connections to a serial target without going through the device. The user
specifies the device address and the port number (target), and is then
connected.
RSC System Requirements
The following requirements must be met to support the Raritan Serial
Console:
The RSC works with JRE
™
version 1.6.
Your system may require configuration adjustments depending on
the operating system and browser. The JRE provides configuration
instructions with the JRE download. Browse to the page at
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml \o
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml) to determine
the JRE version currently installed on your system. If you do not
have a compatible version of the JRE, go to http://www.java.com
(http://www.java.com) and click the Download Now button.
Minimum 1 GHz PC with 512 MB RAM.
Ensure that Java
™
can be started from the command line. To do this,
environment variables must be configured. Make a note of the exact path
where Java was installed. (The path information is used later.)
IMPORTANT: When launching RSC from a browser, Raritan highly
recommends that Java Applet Caching be disabled and that you
perform the following steps to make sure that Java does not create
problems for the system's memory.
Setting Windows OS Variables
1. Choose Start > Control Panel > System.
