Run test version of WebOpt:
http://der.lbl.gov/sites/der.lbl.gov/files/WebOpt_2X.zip
After having 'WebOpt.zip' saved on your computer extract the 'WebOpt.rdp' file and save it, e.g. on your desktop. Click 'WebOpt.rdp' and enter your login data.

Please read following important notes:
1) The WebOpt service is only working on a PC system with WinXP (at least Service Pack 3), Windows VISTA, and Windows 7 since you will need at least Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0) for WebOpt. You can download Terminal Services Client 6.0 for WinXP from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=26f11f0c-0d18-4....

If you are using a MAC, please use Windows Parallels(TM) or similar and run the WebOpt service on the Windows site of the MAC. We apologize for not providing a full MAC version at this point. However, we are working on a version that will work on different operating systems.

2) The ‘WebOpt.rdp’ file that can be downloaded above is a remote desktop file that runs the WebOpt service after inputting your login data. Nothing will be installed on your computer and the file just contains server and port information. However, this file only works with an open port 3389 or 443. Corporate users may experience problems using the ‘WebOpt.rdp’ file if port 3389 or 443 is blocked by a firewall.
