Using Java with Omnia.11

Updated by Bryan Jones

SCOPE

This document applies to the use of Java as it relates to control of the Omnia.11.

DESCRIPTION

It is becoming harder and harder to find a browser that supports Java. How can I control my Omnia.11?

USING THE JAVA APPLICATION

The Omnia.11 supports two methods for remote control.

First is the use of Java inside a browser. As more and more browsers discontinue the use of any plugins at all, it is becoming difficult to find a browser that still works.

The second, and more reliable option, is to download the Java application directly from the Omnia. This requires that the Java JRE is installed on your machine.

It must be the 32-Bit (x86) version of Java. In the page linked above, be sure to download the "Windows Online" or "Windows Offline" version and not the "Windows Offline (64-Bit) version.

To do this;

  1. Log in to the webpage of your Omnia.11
  1. Click the Remote link on the main page.
  1. Click on the link for the Remote Control Application.

This will download a file called o11remoteapp.jar. Once you have Java installed you can run this like any other application.

  1. Click the Connect link.
  1. Add the information needed to connect to your Omnia 11. Click the Save Connection box and add a name if you want to save the connection for future use.
Note that the ports that need to be open through any firewalls are 4545 & 4546.
