Coral versus CAC

 As CNF migrates equipment to the new Coral system, you will find that some
equipment is running off of Coral and some off of CAC. Equipment that is still
running off the old CAC system will not be listed in the Coral client.
Conversely, equipment running off the new Coral system will no longer be
listed in the old web scheduling system or in CAC itself.

Remote Coral

 Coral can be run "remotely" from any web browser with an appropriate java
runtime installed. You will need either a version of Java6 or Run the latest
version of Java5. Early versions of Java5 will not work. Java4 and earlier
will also not workJava7 (Java 6 and earlier are no longer maintained).

 Running Remote Coral over a dialup internet connection is not recommended due
to the large size of the files which must be downloaded. Remote Coral also
requires a reasonable amount of horsepower to run.

SeaBird is a web-based application for managing Coral reservations.

 Start Start Remote Coral by clicking the Coral link on the cnfusers CNFUsers web page.

Mac OS X and Remote Coral

Users of Mac OS X should first download and install Java 7 from Oracle.

Clicking on the "Coral" link on the CNFUsers website will not start Coral but will instead download a "coral.jnlp" file. Look in your Safari downloads and choose to "open" this file, which will start Coral. You may receive a warning about running applications downloaded from the Internet. Depending on your version of OS X, you may also need to, under "Security & Privacy - General" in "System Preferences", set "Allow apps downloaded from" to "Anywhere".

Local  Local Coral

 "Local" coral is run from your Sunray linux account. If remotely logging into
your sunray linux account, you will need to enable X11 forwarding/tunneling
and run an X server (such as Exceed on Windows).
