About Client Workstation Software
Client workstations must have Java 1.3 and Netscape 4.76 installed to use CiscoView as a client. (Other
browsers may work but have not been verified.) Netscape 4.76 is installed with Cisco EMF. The correct
version of Java 1.3 is packaged with CiscoView. When you launch the CiscoView server the first time,
you will be prompted to download and install the Java 1.3.1 version bundled with the
plugin-131-sparc.tar CiscoView server. Follow the instructions displayed to download and install this
plugin.
To use the CiscoView server, we also recommend that you install the latest J2EE Solaris patch cluster
which can be found at the following URL:

Remote Client Installation. You do not need a license on a client machine.
After installing the base 3.2 version, go on to Installing Cisco EMF Patches section on page 2-7. If
you are using SSH for secure communications with SSH-enabled network components, continue with
Installing SSH. Finally, start the Cisco EMF Server, as described in Starting Cisco EMF section on
page 2-8.
