Is the configuration, monitoring and diagnostic software compatible with Microsoft OS?
There is in fact, no configuration software, microsoft or otherwise. The monitoring, diagnostic and configuration software is actually a Java application that loads to the browser (either IE or Netscape). An up-to-date Java plug-in is required and is available free from Sun (a link to the upload page is available under the support menu). Configuration files in comma separated variable format (.csv) and compatible with Microsoft Excel. Both the S3 and S5 can be mounted as network drives under Windows Explorer allowing drag and drop and other conventional file-handling methods.
