Problem
The Applet notinited message
appears at the bottom of the

status and actions of CMS. To display the Java console, select Start > Programs > Java Plug-in

Step 1 Enter the dir flash: privileged EXEC command to display the contents of Flash memory as in this
example:
switch: dir flash:

Suggested Solution
You might not have enough disk space. Each time you start CMS, Java Plug-in 1.2.2
saves a copy of all the jar files to the disk. Delete the jar files from the location where the
browser keeps the temporary files on your computer.
A high security level prohibits ActiveX controls (which Internet Explorer uses to launch
the Java plug-in) from running. Do this:
Start Internet Explorer.
1.
From the menu bar, select Tools > Internet Options.
2.
Click the Security tab.
3.
Click the indicated Zone.
4.
Move the Security Level for this Zone slider from High to Medium (the default).
5.
Click Custom Level... and verify that these ActiveX controls and plug-ins are set to
6.
either Prompt or Enable:
Download signed ActiveX controls.
•
Download unsigned ActiveX controls as safe.
•
Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked.
•
• Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
