Ica -client
Some library databases are located on CD-roms that can be accessed from the network.
Consultation of library CD-roms at home requires:
-
A special VPN client apart from your usual internet connection.
Installation of a special browser plug-in (the so-called Ica-client).
How does it work?
-
-
Download browser plugin – Ica-client.
Click the link below with the right mouse button and select the option ‘save target as’.
Indicate in which directory you choose to store the file ‘ica32.exe’ file. Do take into account
that the file is 3.7 Mb large and that the downloading, depending on the connection speed,
may take a while.
Start the Windows Explorer program and double click the ‘ica.exe’ file.
Click the option ‘unzip’ in the dialog box (unless you indicate otherwise, the program is now
unzipped in the directory c:\temp).
Go to the directory with the unzipped files and double click the file ‘setup.exe’, a blue window
is shown.
Click the button with the computer image to start the installation. It will be reported if the
installation was successful.
