the platform requirements, see

With Linux, the first time you request to watch IP video, you may be asked
to accept and install the appropriate Java plug-in. You may get a series of
pop-up messages that guide you through the installation of the appropriate Java
run-time environment.
How Do I Upgrade My Linux Java Runtime Environment?
If you are having problems that might be related to Java, consider upgrading
your Java Runtime Environment to j2re-1.4.1; see
Sun's Web site.
- Download and install Sun’s j2re-1.4.1 for Linux.
- For each browser you want to use, enable java in the preferences or
settings. Then, add a link to the java package's plug-in directory
libjavaplugin_oji.so. The rpm installs this to
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
- To link the JRE and your browser, you have to be in your browser’s
"plug-in" directory. Then enter ln -s
/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so
libjavaplugin_oji.so.
