12 USTIP USER GUIDE

Remote Connection Using Raritan Multi-Platform Client

and Raritan Remote Client

After installing USTIP, establish an initial network connection using Raritan Multi-Platform

Client (MPC) or Raritan Remote Client (RRC). MPC and RRC are Raritan’s graphical user

interfaces for USTIP, IP-Reach, and Dominion KX products, providing remote access to the

target servers connected to Raritan KVM over IP devices. Both can be installed to use stand-

alone, or accessed remotely.

Non-Windows users must use Raritan Multi-Platform Client, and Windows users running Internet

Explorer must use Raritan Remote Console.

Note: Please see the Raritan Multi-Platform Client and Raritan Remote Client User Guide,

available on Raritan’s Website http://www.raritan.com/support/sup_prdmanuals.aspx, or on the

Raritan User Manuals & Quick Setup Guides CD ROM included with your Dominion KX

shipment for details on installing and operating MPC and RRC as standalone applets or for

remote access.

MPC Requirements

All installations of Raritan MPC require Sun Microsystems’ Java Runtime Environment (JRE)

version 1.5.0_03 or greater. You may need some configuration depending on your OS and

browser; configuration instructions are provided with the JRE download.

Determine your version of the JRE on the Java webpage:

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml

Note: Raritan does not support JRE version 1.5.0_02 for use with MPC.

Supported Browsers

MPC supports the following browsers:

• Internet Explorer 6 or later

• Netscape 7.2 or later

• Safari 1.2 or later

• Firefox 1.0 or later

• Mozilla 1.7 or later

Launch MPC

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. If you are running Windows, toggle to other open windows

using the command ALT+TAB.

You can install MPC as a standalone applet, described further in the Raritan Multi-Platform

Client and Raritan Remote Client User Guide.

Important: You must disable any pop-up blockers in order to launch MPC.
