The LSMS offers, as the optional IP User Interface feature, a web-based graphical user interface (GUI) intended for remote users. The web-based GUI can be run:
A 32-bit installation of Windows uses 32-bit Internet Explorer and 32-bit Java. A 64-bit installation of Windows includes both the 32-bit and 64-bit Internet Explorer. If you are using the 32-bit Internet Explorer, 32-bit Java is required, and if you are using the 64-bit Internet Explorer, 64-bit Java is required. You can check the Internet Explorer version by clicking on
. If 64-bit Edition is displayed as shown in the following example, you are using the 64-bit edition. If 64-bit Edition is not displayed, you are using the 32-bit edition.The web-based GUI is accessible from any machine that can access the network on which the LSMS resides. The functionality of the web-based GUI is the same as that of the server-side GUI.
