Ending a DSView Software Session
To end a DSView software session:
From the DSView Explorer, click LOGOUT or the logout icon.
NOTE: Files are copied to DSView software clients when you log in to the DSView software. When using Internet
Explorer, temporary files may be removed by selecting the Delete Temporary Internet Files command and active
web components may be uninstalled by selecting the Remove Objects command. See the Internet Explorer
documentation for more information.
Java Installation
The Video Viewer and the Telnet/SSH applet clients require Java when launched from Mozilla,
Netscape or Firefox browsers. The supported Java version is 1.4.2_04. The Telnet/SSH applet may
work with other versions; the Video Viewer requires that version.
The DSView software client automatically downloads and installs the JRE (Java Runtime
Environment) the first time the Video Viewer or Telnet/SSH applet is launched.
On a Windows client, it is recommended that the JRE be installed in the C:\Program Files\ location.
If your system automatically installs programs in another location, you may not be able to launch
the Video Viewer. In this case, you should access the Java Web Start console, select File -
Preferences - Java, and then set the installed location of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
To install on a Windows client without JRE previously installed:
1. From the DSView Explorer Units View window, click an Action link.
2. A window will open, containing a link for downloading the JRE installer. Download the JRE
installer, then close all browser windows.
3. Click on the JRE icon to launch the installer.
4. Restart the browser, and click an Action link.
• If you chose a Telnet or Serial Session Action link, the Telnet/SSH applet will
launch immediately.
• If you chose a KVM Session Action link, Java Web Start is launched and will download
its own JRE for running the Video Viewer. (This registers the JRE with Web Start; it does
not install the JRE a second time.)
To install on a Windows client with JRE previously installed:
From the DSView Explorer Units View window, click an Action link.
• If you chose a Telnet or Serial Session Action link, the Telnet/SSH applet will
launch immediately.
• If you chose a KVM Session Action link, Java Web Start is launched and will download its
own JRE for running the Video Viewer. (This step registers the existing JRE with Web Start; it
does not install another JRE.)
