EZSwitchSetup requires a browser that conforms to HTML version 4.0 and JavaScript version 1.0. The
EZSwitchSetup installation CD automatically installs the correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for
the disk-based installation wizard. This does not affect any pre-installed JREs, but other program
components launched from the switch require Oracle JRE 1.7.0_25 or later installed on the host.
EZSwitchSetup is supported on the platforms shown in
TABLE 1 on page 9.
