5 Selecting Browser Location The browser application is designed to run either locally or from a server. Normally it resides and is run locally. Based upon the number of users running an application, the processing power of the server, the types of operations being performed by the users with the application, and the type of network connection between the terminal and the server, it may be more advantageous to run the application from a server rather than locally. The application and reasons to choose local or remote operation are described in this chapter. Browser Location Your choice of browser location depends on both your browsing needs and the configuration of the terminal you are using. The terminal uses Netscape Communicator. You may choose to execute Communicator locally or remotely. The selection is made using the Select | System | Browser Location dialog box. Note If you choose to run the browser remotely, it can be done via either ICA or RSH. Refer to the on-line help for instructions. You may want to run the browser remotely for any of the following reasons: • Heavy processing is better supported on a server. • You have adequate network bandwidth at your location. • Few users are on the network. • You require specific plug-ins or mime types. • You must save Web pages to a file.
