Technical specifications to access EAD Basic
Below you can find more information related to the use of EAD Basic. 

  
Supported Operating System

EAD Basic runs on Internet Explorer 9. All previous IE browsers may still work but are no longer supported. EAD Basic will also run on FireFox 5. All other versions have not been verified, but may work as well.
  
Two working modes for EAD Basic
To guarantee easier access for everyone, EAD Basic can be accessed in 2 different modes:
  
  • EAD Basic “Simple Mode”: HTML
  • EAD Basic “Advanced Mode”: Java
You can choose whether you want to work with the “advanced” Java applications or with the “simple” HTML applications. The selection between “simple” or “advanced” access will be the criteria whether the installation of the Java plug-in is required or not. However, the look and feel of the data user applet does not change.
You can specify the access method through a parameter setting in your user profile. This setting can always be changed in the user profile area at any time after login. The default mode setting in existing user profiles will be “advanced”.

  
Java software
For EAD Basic Advanced mode, which still uses the Java Virtual Machine, Java version 1.6.0_27 is needed. For a trouble free user experience of the EAD Basic in Advanced Mode, it is therefore recommended that you ensure you have this version 1.6.0_27 installed on your computer.
