Abstract:
1. A method comprising: launching a loader directly from a client workstation which bypasses a browser interface of the client workstation, wherein the loader is locally installed in the client workstation, and wherein the loader is configured to launch a java-based embedded application that is compatible a remote device; determining, with the loader, whether a local java-based embedded application stored in the client workstation is compatible with the java-based embedded application stored on the remote device by: launching the local java-based embedded application in the client workstation with the loader when the first checksum value matches the second checksum value indicating the local java-based embedded application stored in the client workstation is compatible with the java-based embedded application stored on the remote device, the local java-based embedded application allowing the client workstation to configure the remote device over the network through an interface supported by the launched local java-based embedded application; and downloading, with the loader, the java-based embedded application from the remote device over the network when the first checksum value fails to match the second checksum value.
