Launching the EMS applet
Before running the EMS applet via the Java Web Start application, make sure that Oracle Java is installed on the PC.
In the browser bar, enter the following address:

In this case, the browser will offer you to open or download a file with the jnlp extension. Open this file using the Java Web Start application.
We recommend using Oracle Java 8.
To create a shortcut on the desktop to launch the EMS applet, temporary file storage must be enabled in the Java Control Panel.
