You will need to insert HTML code into a web page you create in order to use the applets provided by NetSnap. The basic outline of the applet HTML code looks like this:
<applet code="AppletName.class" width="320" height="240" name= "AppletName">
</applet>
These are two additional options you can include within the <applet ...> tag:
archive="AppletArchive.jar" - The Archive file that contains the applet
codebase='http://123.456.78.9:port' - The URL where NetSnap is located at
Here is an example using both of these options:
<applet code="AppletName.class" width="320" height="240" name="AppletName" archive="AppletArchive.jar" codebase='http://123.456.78.9:port'>
</applet>
You will need to use the archive option with a few of the Java Applets supplied with NetSnap. Please refer to the help file for the applet you wish to use.
The codebase option allows you to place the web page loading the applet on a server other then the one running NetSnap. The only requirement is you have a static IP or an IP address that does not change frequently. Typically DSL and Cable connections issue dynamic IP addresses. However, these IP addresses change infrequently so updating your web site should not have to be done on a regular basis. Please contact your ISP or Network Administrator to find out if you have a dynamic or static IP address. If it is dynamic ask the administrator how often it changes or when it will change. If your IP address does change frequently (A dialup account changes every time you log on), then the web page that loads the Java applet must be located on the machine running NetSnap.
The port portion of the URL in the codebase option is only required if you are running NetSnap on a port other the 80. i.e
codebase='http://123.456.78.9:8081'
Each Applet has it's own additional options called parameters. Here is an example using the StreamView applet.
<applet code="com.pelesoft.applets.StreamView.class" width="340" height="290" name="Streamview" archive="StreamView.jar">
<param name="quality settings" value="25, 65">
</applet>
Please refer to each applets help file for a complete list and explanation of their parameters
