browser only have access to the Java Applet. Once logged into the web
interface via browser, click on the Windows Client or Java Applet icon to
open the applications and access the connected computers. The same as

the screen of the first connected computer on the installation that you have
access to is displayed, as well as the Remote OSD.
Note: The Java applet requires that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
be installed on your computer. The JRE is available for free download
from the Java web site (http://java.com).
