In Windows, when you install MCS, the installation process checks for the presence of an existing MCS installation, version 2.0.3 or later. If such an installation is present, the installation process upgrades it. When installing with UNIX, you must uninstall any existing version of MCS before installing your new version.
If the Java plug-in is not already installed, you will be prompted to install the plug-in when you attempt to run the MCS console. If you continue, MCS installs the plug-in for you.
The Java platform does not support 16-color displays. Any component that requires Java will require at least 256-color support.
The minimum screen resolution setting is 1024 x 768 pixels.
