Prerequisites for Using AKC
In order to use AKC:
Ensure the cookies from the IP address of the device that is being
accessed are not currently being blocked.
Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 2008 server users should
ensure that the IP address of the device being accessed is included
in their browser's Trusted Sites Zone and that Protected Mode is not
on when accessing the device.
Enable AKC Download Server Certificate Validation
If the device (or CC-SG) administrator has enabled the Enable AKC
Download Server Certificate Validation option:
Administrators must upload a valid certificate to the device or
generate a self-signed certificate on the device. The certificate must
have a valid host designation.
Each user must add the CA certificate (or a copy of self-signed
certificate) to the Trusted Root CA store in their browser.
When launching AKC from the CC-SG Admin Client, you must have
JRE
1.6.0_10 or above.
Multi-Platform Client (MPC)
Raritan Multi-Platform Client (MPC) is a graphical user interface for the
Raritan product lines, providing remote access to target servers
connected to Raritan KVM over IP devices. For details on using MPC,
see the KVM and Serial Access Clients Guide available on Raritan's
website on the same page as the user guide. Instructions on launching
MPC are provided there.
Please note this client is used by various Raritan products. As such,
references to other products may appear in this section of help.
Launching MPC from a Web Browser
Important: Regardless of the browser you use, you must allow
pop-ups from the Dominion device's IP address in order to open
MPC.
Important: Only Mac 10.5 and 10.6 with an Intel
®
processor can run
JRE 1.6 and, therefore, be used as a client. Mac 10.5.8 does not
support MPC as a standalone client.
1. To open MPC from a client running any supported browser, type
http://IP-ADDRESS/mpc into the address line, where IP-ADDRESS
is the IP address of your Raritan device. MPC opens in a new
window.
