In addition, the LocalDirector User Interface server and client installations will install the Java plug-in if you do not have it installed. The memory requirements in the tables shown include the plug-in component. If you install the LocalDirector User Interface server and client on the same system, add the relevant memory requirements from both tables to get the total memory requirement.
The LocalDirector User Interface server can run on either Windows NT or Solaris UNIX systems. The following sections describe how to install the LocalDirector User Interface server on each platform. Once you install the LocalDirector User Interface server, install the LocalDirector User Interface client as described in the section "Installing the LocalDirector User Interface Client" later in this chapter.
The following information is required before you install the LocalDirector User Interface server on a system running Windows NT:
Follow this procedure to install the LocalDirector User Interface server on a system running Windows NT:
Step 1 Log in to the LocalDirector User Interface server host system as the administrator.
Step 2 If you are installing the LocalDirector User Interface server software from a CD, insert that CD now.
Otherwise, download the LocalDirector User Interface server self-extracting compressed file from CCO at the URL http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/localdir. Double-click on the file to uncompress and move it to a temporary directory on the intended host system of the LocalDirector User Interface server.
Step 3 Locate and run the Setup.exe file in the temporary directory or CD. This starts the InstallShield program. Read the introductory information and then click Next.
Step 4 Specify the location where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface. By default, the server is installed in the C:\Program Files\Cisco\LocalDirector User Interface 3.1 folder. Click Next to continue.
Step 5 Specify the program folder where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface server shortcuts. By default, the shortcuts are installed in the LocalDirector User Interface 3.1 folder. Click Next to continue.
A message displays indicating that the files are being copied.
Step 6 If you already have the Java plug-in installed, go to Step 9. If you do not have a Java plug-in installed, the installation prompt returns with a message that it will now install the Java plug-in onto the LocalDirector User Interface server host.
Click OK.
A message displays informing you that the installer is unpacking the Java plug-in.
Step 7 At the Software License Agreement window for the Java plug-in, read the agreement, then click Yes.
Step 8 Specify the location where you want to install the Java plug-in. By default the plug-in is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\Java Plug-in 1.1. Click Next to continue.
Step 9 If you have an existing Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, a window displays asking if you want to use the Java plug-in being installed as the JRE default. Click Yes or No.
An information box displays to tell you to press OK when the Java plug-in installation is complete.
Step 10 Click OK. The setup is complete.
Before you install the LocalDirector User Interface server on a system running UNIX, determine the directory where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface server.
You install the LocalDirector User Interface server software for UNIX systems from a tar file. (The tar utility is a standard UNIX file archival utility.)
Follow this procedure to install the LocalDirector User Interface server software on a system running UNIX:
Step 1 If you are installing the LocalDirector User Interface server software into some central location such as /usr/local, log in as root. Otherwise, if you are installing the software in your local directory, you can log in as yourself.
Step 2 If you are installing the LocalDirector User Interface server software from a CD, insert that CD now.
Otherwise, download the lui31_fcs_solaris251_rel_tar.Z file from CCO.
Step 3 Go to the directory where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface server software.
Step 4 Uncompress the lui31_fcs_solaris251_rel_tar.Z file. You can use the following command:
uncompress lui31_fcs_solaris251_rel_tar.Z
Step 5 Untar the resulting lui31_fcs_solaris251_rel_tar file. You can use the following command:
tar xvf lui31_fcs_solaris251_rel_tar
The LocalDirector User Interface server software is installed in the current directory. The setup is complete.
The first time you navigate to the LocalDirector User Interface server host from a client system, the LocalDirector User Interface server installs the LocalDirector User Interface client software and a Java plug-in (if one is not already installed). The LocalDirector User Interface client software may be either on the same system as the LocalDirector User Interface server, or on a different system.
The following sections describe how to install the LocalDirector User Interface according to the client platform.
Follow this procedure to install the LocalDirector User Interface client software on a system running Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT:
Step 1 Open a browser such as Netscape Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Step 2 At the URL line, enter an address with the following format:
http://host_name_or_IP_address:port/LUI31.html
The host name (or IP address) and port number pair are those of the LocalDirector User Interface server host.
If the LocalDirector User Interface client is not installed on the client system, the LocalDirector User Interface server downloads the executable file.
Step 3 If you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser and the Java 1.1.2 plug-in is not installed, the browser asks if you want to install the software. Continue to Step 8. If the Java 1.1.2 plug-in is installed, the software automatically installs the LocalDirector User Interface client from within the browser. Go to Step 16.
If you are using the Netscape Communicator browser, continue with the next step.
Step 4 Click the download icon to download the client installation executable file.
Step 5 In the download dialog box, specify a location where you want to place the client installation executable file.
Step 6 Go to the directory that contains the client installation executable file, LUI31.exe.
Step 7 Run LUI31.exe. At the Welcome to LocalDirector User Interface window, click Finish.
Step 8 The InstallShield program starts. Read the introductory information and click Next.
Step 9 Specify the location where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface client software. By default the client is installed in the folder
C:\Program Files\Cisco\LocalDirector User Interface 3.1. Click Next to continue.
Step 10 Specify the program folder where you want to install the LocalDirector User Interface client shortcuts. By default the shortcuts are installed in the folder LocalDirector User Interface 3.1. Click Next to continue.
A message appears indicating that the files are being copied.
Step 11 If you already have the Java plug-in installed, go to Step 15. If you do not have the Java plug-in installed, the installation prompt returns with a message that it will now install the Java plug-in onto the LocalDirector User Interface client host.
Click OK.
A message displays informing you that the Java plug-in is downloading.
Step 12 At the Software License Agreement window for the Java plug-in, read the agreement, then click Yes.
Step 13 Specify the location where you want to install the Java plug-in. By default the plug-in is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\Java Plug-in 1.1. Click Next to continue.
Step 14 If you have an existing Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed, a window displays asking if you want to use the Java plug-in being installed as the JRE default. Click Yes or No.
An information box displays to tell you to press OK when the Java plug-in installation is complete.
Step 15 Click OK. The setup is complete.
Step 16 If you are installing from Internet Explorer, the login window displays, allowing you to use the LocalDirector User Interface immediately. (Refer to the following caution if you are using Windows 98.) If you are installing from the Netscape Communicator, exit the browser, restart it, and reload the LocalDirector User Interface main page:
http://host_name_or_IP_address:port/LUI31.html
If you are using the Netscape Communicator, exit and restart the browser. Then reload the LocalDirector User Interface main page.
 | Caution
If you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser to install the LocalDirector User Interface client on a Windows 98 system, reboot the system, restart the browser, and reload the LocalDirector User Interface main page. If you are using Windows 95, Windows NT, or the Netscape Communicator browser, you need not reboot the system. |
Follow this procedure to install the LocalDirector User Interface client software on a system running UNIX:
Step 1 Open the Netscape Communicator browser.
Step 2 At the URL line, enter an address with the following format:
http://host_name_or_IP_address:port/LUI31.html
The host name (or IP address) and port number pair are those of the LocalDirector User Interface server host.
If the LocalDirector User Interface client is not installed on the client system, the LocalDirector User Interface server downloads the executable file.
A window displays where you can specify a location for the file LUI31Client.tar. Simultaneously, the browser window displays an installation message.
Step 3 Specify a location for the client installation executable file. By default, this is the Netscape Communicator home directory. You should choose the default directory. Click OK.
Step 4 Go to the directory where the file LUI31Client.tar resides.
Step 5 Run the tar command:
tar xvf LUI31Client.tar
This extracts three files:
Step 6 Run LUI31Install.sh.
Step 7 At the Software License Agreement window for the Java plug-in, read the agreement, then click Yes.
The installation program installs the Java plug-in and places the LUI31.jar file in the $HOME/.netscape/java/lib directory.
Step 8 You can either return to the LUI31.html page and log in now, or exit the browser.
Step 1 Log in as administrator. On the desktop, click the Start button and go to the Settings submenu. Select the Control Panel item. The Control Panel appears.
Step 2 Double-click the Add/Remove Programs item in the Control Panel. The Add/Remove Programs Properties window appears.
Step 3 Select LocalDirector User Interface 3.1 from the list of programs. Click the Add/Remove button at the bottom of the window.
Step 4 The Uninstall program starts. As it runs, it may ask what should be done with shared libraries (.dll files) that were associated with the component that is being removed.
If the component being removed was the only LocalDirector User Interface object on that host, you can safely remove the shared libraries. If the component being removed was not the only LocalDirector User Interface object on that host, then you should not remove the shared libraries.
Step 5 If desired, select Java plug-in 1.1.2 from the list of programs. Click the Add/Remove button at the bottom of the window.
Step 6 When the Uninstall program is finished, you are returned to the Add/Remove Programs Properties window. The component removal is complete.
Step 1 Log in as root.
Step 2 At a command prompt, use the cd command to move to the location where the LocalDirector User Interface is installed.
Step 3 Use the rm command to remove the LocalDirector User Interface directory.
