Since HOD is invoked from a clients' Web browser, current versions of Netscape and/or Internet-Explorer (IE) are required.

  • Netscape browser version 4.5 (Win95, 98, NT4, AIX and UNIX)
  • Internet-Explorer version 4 or 5 with SP1 (Win95, 98 NT4 and Sun  Solaris)

Note: UMKC students can obtain a copy of Netscape with the Dial UMKC CD which is available in the student computer labs.

Download Procedures

  1. Initial start-up of HOD presents a screen asking the user to choose either a 24 lines-per-screen or a 32 lines-per-screen configuration.
  2. After making this choice, HOD downloads and self-installs the emulator-applet onto the users' desktop.
  3. During this download the user will be prompted to accept several security certificates.  Users should reply yes to these requests plus check the box indicating it is to remember it has given this authority.
  4. Depending on the processor speed of the users' desktop plus network business, this initial download self-install may take several minutes.
  5. The final step of this initial start-up is to restart the browser, return to this STAR page and connect to STAR-UMKC using the button below.

All future access to HOD simply checks the currency of the users' 3270-applet code and then proceeds to the appropriate screen in the standard path.
