The Novera EPIC Management System is a Java applet that you access using a web server and display with a browser or an applet viewer. Or if you don’t have a web server, you can access the Novera EPIC Management System using only an applet viewer. Novera provides an applet viewer if you don’t have one.
To display the Novera EPIC Management System using a web server, you must know the host on which your web server resides and the port number that your web server is using.
If you install the CERN web server provided by Novera, the installation process sets up the configuration file so that the web server uses port 8000.
