Important Pre-installation Requirements
Before installing and configuring ACS, ensure that you have the following:
• Root Access on your local UNIX machine in order to use the serial ports.
• An appropriate Terminal application for your operating system.
• IP address, DNS, Network Mask, and Gateway addresses of your server
or terminal, the ACS, and the machine that ACS is connected to.
• A web browser that supports the ACS Web Manager, such as Netscape,
Internet Explorer 6.0, Firefox, or Mozilla.
• Java 2 Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2 or later. J2RE can be
downloaded from http://java.com
.
Java Plug-In Requirement for Serial Port Access
The JRE version 1.4.2 or later must be installed for a user to be able to access
a serial port using the Java applet viewing window. After you download and
install J2RE version 1.4.2 or later, check your browser configuration to see if
the Java plug-in is configured with your browser.
T To check Java Plug-in Support in the Browser

a. Go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
b. Scroll down and look for a section on Java.
c. There should be a check box that says “Use Java 2 v1.4.2...." As
shown in the following figure.
d. If an option similar to the above figure does not appear, it means that
JRE is not installed on your system. Or, if the option appears, but the
checkbox is not enabled, this means your browser is not activated to
use the Java plug-in that came with JRE.
