Java Plug-in
Quantum A-Series Tape Drives User’s Guide 6
Java Plug-in
The A-Series tape drive utilizes a Web-based interface allowing you to
manage the tape drive from a remote workstation on the same network.
The tape drive is configured and managed through Web pages accessible
by Internet browser software installed on the host computer.
The only software required on your system is the Java Plug-in. The
Java
Plug-in
is the virtual machine software that allows the execution of Java
applets.
The Java Plug-in 2
The Java FTP client needs the Java Virtual Machine to run. This Java Plug-
in
is provided by Sun Microsystems.
The Java FTP client will install immediately. When you load the Java FTP
client for the first time, a display window may ask you to download and
install the Java plug-in. If you need that plug-in you can just follow the
instructions on the screen or go to www.java.com
to download it.
If you have
Java Plug-in version 1.5 or later or the Java Runtime
Environment
version 1.5 or later installed on your computer, you should
not need to download new software. The plug-in should activate on your
Web browser automatically once installed. For Mac OSX, the supported
JRE version is 1.4.2.
Certificate of Security 2
Since the Java FTP client reaches the local directories of your computer, a
certificate of security is required. When the Java FTP client is loaded, the
Java Plug-in displays a window prompting you to accept our certificate of
security (see figure 2
).
