Overview:
In order to use our Intranet Communications System,
you will need:
- a PC or Macintosh Power PC with at least a 56kbps
modem (DSL or Cable modem highly recommended)
- Windows XP or Mac OS X or greater
- at least 512 megabytes of RAM (additional RAM

If you do not have an appropriate web browser,
you can download a free copy of either Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP at Microsoft's
web site or Mozilla Firefox at Firefox's web
site.
Note: If you plan on
accessing the Internet using an online service such as AOL, please make
sure you read the section for AOL Users below.
Plug-in Requirements:
In order to view certain documents on our Intranet
Communications System, you will need a program called Acrobat Reader.
This program installs a "plug-in" into your browser's plug-in folder so
that your browser will automatically open up PDF (Portable Document
Format) documents for you to view and/or print. To test if you already
have the Acrobat Reader plug-in installed on your computer, click on
the sample PDF document below.
If the above sample PDF document opened, you are ready
to access our Intranet Communications System. If it did not
open, it is likely that you do not have Acrobat Reader installed on
your computer. Fortunately, you can download a free
copy of Acrobat Reader from Adobe's web site. If you already have Adobe
Acrobat installed, please verify that you have version 8 or later.
Older versions may have some problems opening newer
documents. Just click the "Get Acrobat Reader" button below
and follow the instructions on Adobe's web site to download Acrobat
Reader's installation program to your computer. Then,
double-click on the installation program icon to install Acrobat Reader
onto your computer (which will include installing the Acrobat Reader
plug-in into your web browser's plug-in folder). Once you
have installed Acrobat Reader onto your computer, you can return to
this Intranet Test Site and try to open the above sample PDF document
again.
Note: Make sure that you
install the proper web browser before you install
Acrobat Reader. This is because Acrobat Reader needs to place
the Acrobat Reader plug-in inside of your browser's plug-in
folder.
Good luck! We'll see you
online!
