Installation instructions

 

Installation is simple, and involves the following steps:

  1. Install the mBooster Remote Access Client multi-platform installer in the command-line shell: 
    java -jar mBooster-remote-access-client-install-x-y.jar

    where x and y indicates major and minor version to be installed.


Follow the on screen instructions to install mBooster Remote Access Client onto your computer.

 

  1. In the command-line shell in the directory where mBooster Remote Access Client is installed, check that mBooster Remote Access Client can successfully connect to the mBooster Remote Access Server:

    java -jar mBoosterRemoteAccessClient.jar -DREMOTE.SERVER.URL=URL -DREMOTE.USERNAME=Username -DREMOTE.PASSWORD=Password


    If the connection is successful, mBooster Remote Access Client will print a short message indicating a successful connection, before printing an error message due to other required properties:

    mBooster Remote Access Client
    Copyright 2002-2006, Innaworks Development Limited. All rights reserved.
    Version: 2.5

    Loading properties (Config_S60.properties)
    Trying to connect to server at: 101.150.1.128 - Success

    Error - no Library Classpath supplied. Set via property LIB.CLASSPATH or -l <classpath>

  2. If the mBooster Remote Access Client fails to connect to mBooster Remote Access Server, you may need to configure the network firewall.


That's all there is to it. Now you are ready to run mBooster Remote Access Client.

 

Firewall configuration

mBooster Remote Access Client is designed to work transparently with network address translation (NAT) and most network firewall configurations. If your network firewall allows outbound TCP/IP traffic to the mBooster Remote Access Server IP address and port (as specified by the URL), no configuration should be required. Otherwise please contact your network administrator to set up a pinhole in the firewall. The administration will need the IP address and the port number of the mBooster Remote Access Server.

Due to the diversity of firewall techniques and implementations, Innaworks makes no representation that mBooster Remote Access Client will work with all firewall setups. Under some unusual circumstances you may need to turn off the firewall entirely.
