4.2.1

 

Configuration 

System requirements 

 

host PC has a USB connector available 

 

operating system of the host PC supports the USB HID profile  

 

operating system of the master PC: Windows 2000 or Windows XP 

 

Java runtime environment is installed on the master PC 

 

Connecting the USB cable and device installation on the host PC 

Connect the USB cable as explained in section 

3.2.4 Remote Pointer

The new device has to be installed on the host PC. The manner to do so depends on the operating system of the 
host PC. On a Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, for example, the Found new hardware wizard will come up 
automatically and guide through the installation. 

A total of three devices have to be installed. This is at first the new T

RANS

F

ORM 

SCN USB device, a low-speed USB 

composite device. This device includes two further USB interfaces, the remote HID-keyboard (a standard 104-key 
keyboard) and the remote HID-mouse (a standard 3-button wheel mouse). They work according to the USB HID 
Boot Protocol. Operating systems from 1998 on have a built-in support for HID Boot devices. These two HID inter-
faces have to be installed as well. 

 

Java runtime environment on the master PC 

On the master PC the Sun Java Virtual Machine must be installed to provide the appropriate Java runtime envi-
ronment for operation of the remote pointer. The installation file is located on the 

CD R5976969 Manuals & 

Supplement

. Insert the CD into the master PC and make a local copy of the file from the CD-ROM 

\3rd 

party\sun\j2re-1_4_2_05-windows-i586-p.exe

. Start the installation by a double click on the local 

copy of the file. After a short preparation phase the 

InstallShield Wizard

 comes up. First you will have to accept 

the license agreement and then select the setup type. The 

Typical

 setup is sufficient for this purpose. After that 

the installation starts and takes some minutes. As soon as clicking on the final 

Finish

 button, the Java Virtual 

Machine is available on the master PC.  

 

 

 

To install the Java runtime environment you must be logged in on the master PC with administra-
tive rights. 

 

 

For proper operation the browser settings have to allow the usage of Java script.  

Make sure that Java Script is enabled for the browser you use: 

 

In the 

Java Plug-in Control Panel

 (Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Java Plug-in) select the browser you 

are using.  

In the browser enable the usage of Java applets, e.g. for Internet Explorer 4.x or higher this is the following: 

 

Click 

Tools

 -> 

Internet Options…

  

 

On the 

Advanced

 tab go to Java (Sun) and enable 

Use Java …

 

 

On the tab 

Security

 click the 

Custom Level …

 button and enable 

Scripting of Java applets

 

 

Click 

OK

 to save the settings
