System Requirements

Local Console: One PS/2 Keyboard, one PS/2 Mouse and one Monitor

Remote Console: Computers installed with TCP/IP

For an insecure connection to the IKVM-8000, the following browsers can be used:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher on Windows 98, Windows ME,

Windows 2000 and Windows XP

• Netscape Navigator 7.0 or Mozilla 1.6 on Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows

2000, Windows XP, Linux and other UNIX-like Operating Systems

In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection, you

need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by

using a key length of 128 Bit. Some of the old browsers do not have a strong 128 Bit

encryption algorithm.

For using the Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser must

come with a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. If the browser has no

Java support (such as on a small handheld device), you are still able to maintain your

remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser itself. The

recommended environment is Sun JVM 1.4.

Host: 8 PCs or servers
