Thick Client Access

The CC-SG thick client allows you to connect to CC-SG by launching a Java Web Start

application instead of running an applet through a web browser. The advantage of using the thick

client instead of a browser is that the client can outperform the browser in terms of speed and

efficiency.

Install the Thick Client

1. To download the thick client from CC-SG, launch a web browser and type this URL:

http(s)://<IP_address>/install where <IP_address> is the IP address of the CC-SG.

2. If a security warning message appears, click Start to continue the download.

3. If your client computer is running Java version 1.4, a Desktop Integration window appears.

If you want Java to add a shortcut icon for the thick client to your desktop, click Yes.

4. When the download is complete, a new window in which you can specify the CC-SG IP

address appears.

Figure 2 Thick Client IP Address Specification Window

5. Type the IP address of the CC-SG unit you want to access in the IP to Connect field. Once

you have connected, this address will be available from the IP to Connect drop-down list.

The IP addresses are stored in a properties file that is saved to your desktop.

6. If the CC-SG is configured for secure browser connections, you must check the Secure

Socket Layer (SSL) checkbox. If the CC-SG is not configured for secure browser

connections, you must clear the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) checkbox. This setting must be

correct or the thick client will not be able to connect to CC-SG.

• To check the setting in CC-SG: On the Administration menu, click Security. In the

General tab, look at the Browser Connection Protocol field. If the HTTPS/SSL option

is selected, then you must check the Secure Socket Layer SSL checkbox in the thick

client’s IP address specification window. If the HTTP option is selected, then you must

clear the Secure Socket Layer SSL checkbox in the thick client’s IP address

specification window.

7. Click Start.

• A warning message appears if you are using an unsupported Java Runtime Environment

version on your machine. Follow the prompts to either download a supported Java

version, or continue with the currently installed version.

8. The login screen appears, and the thick client looks and behaves just like the browser-based

Java client. If the Restricted Service Agreement is enabled, read the agreement text, and then

check the I Understand and Accept the Restricted Service Agreement checkbox.
