CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION 17
Installing and Launching MPC
1. To launch MPC from a machine running any browser except Internet Explorer, type
http://<IP address> into the address line, where <IP address> is the IP address of your
Raritan device. Please note that the MPC applet will launch in a new window that does not
contain a Menu bar, Tool bar, Scroll bar, or Address bar. Work in this window and toggle to
other open windows using the command ALT+TAB.
2. When MPC launches, a device tree of all automatically detected Raritan devices found on
your subnet is displayed on the left side of the screen. If you do not find your Dominion unit
listed by name, create an icon manually by selecting Connection Æ New Profile. The Add
Profile window appears.
3. Type a device Description, specify a Connection Type, and add the Dominion unit’s IP
Address, and click OK. These specifications can be edited later, as described in the
MPC/RRC User Guide (
http://www.raritan.com/support/sup_prdmanuals.aspx).
4. In the Navigator panel on the left of the screen, double-click on the icon that corresponds to
your Dominion unit.
To install MPC as a standalone applet, please see Appendix A in the
Raritan Multi-Platform
Client and Raritan Remote Client User Guide.
Important: Regardless of the browser you use, you must allow pop-ups from
the Dominion device’s IP address in order to launch MPC.
Installing and Launching RRC
Important: RRC works only with MS Internet Explorer. If you are using a
different Web browser, MPC automatically loads, instead of RRC.
1. Log on to any Windows-based computer with network access to your Dominion device.
2. If you are using Windows NT, 2000, XP, or 2003, ensure that you are not a “restricted” user.
3. Launch Microsoft Internet Explorer (ensure that your Internet Explorer security settings allow
the download and execution of ActiveX controls).
Note: The IE default security setting of Medium is sufficient.
4. In the Internet Explorer Address bar, type the IP address you assigned to your Dominion
device the previous section, Initial Configuration. Press ENTER to load and launch RRC.
