The Jenzabar CX 8.1 menu is a Java-based user interface. Your system will need to have the 32-bit version of Java 7 or later installed and properly configured or it will not be able to connect to the CX server.

===== Verify Java Version and Architecture =====
Before proceeding, verify that you have the correct version and architecture of Java installed.

  - Go to **Start** > **Control Panel** > **Programs ** > **Programs and Features**
  - Scroll down to check the versions of Java installed
  - Uninstall any versions of Java 6 and Java 7
  - Install the latest version of Java
    - Browse to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp?locale-=en
    - Select **"Windows Offline (32-bit)"**
    - Run the downloaded installer

===== Configure Java 8 =====
Java 8 will not permit self-signed applications to run without first adding security exceptions for them. Because Jenzabar CX 8.1 code is still signed with a self-signed certificate as of July 2014, creating these exceptions is a mandatory step.  

  - Go to **Start** > **Java** > **Configure Java** to open the Java Control Panel
  - Click on the **Security** tab
  - Click on the **Edit Site List...** button to add sites to the list
  - In the newly-opened Exception Site List window, click the **Add** button
  - Type or paste the following to allow connections to the live database, and hit ''Enter'' when complete:\\ \\ <code>https://cx01.olin.edu:9040</code>
  - Click the **Add** button again
  - Type or paste the following to allow connections to the train database, and again hit ''Enter'' when complete:\\ \\ <code>https://cx01.olin.edu:9045</code>
  - Click **OK** to accept these changes and close the Exception Site List window
  - Click **OK** to close the Java Control Panel

===== Running CX 8.1 =====
Beginning with Java 8, CX 8.1 must be launched from a web browser.  

  - In your web browser, visit the appropriate site:
    * For the live database, browse to https://cx01.olin.edu:9040/CXConnect.htm
    * For the train database, browse to https://cx01.olin.edu:9045/CXConnect.htm
  - Click on the **Run Jenzabar CX** link
  - Continue to [[#Starting the Menu]] below

For ease of use, it is strongly recommended that both of these URLs be added to your web browser as favorites / bookmarks. Once created, you can drag them to your desktop to create shortcuts if you wish.

=== Starting the Menu ===
  - Each time you use the CX 8.1 menu, Java will present the following security warning:\\ \\ {{cx81javawarning.png|Java security warning when running CX 8.1}}\\ \\ Despite the warning, the CX 8.1 application is safe to run, and unfortunately this message cannot be permanently bypassed at this time. 
  - Click on the checkbox next to ''I accept the risk and want to run this application.''
    * It is important to note that **this is the __only__ security warning you should accept -- all other security warnings on your system should be heeded and treated with extreme caution!**
  - Click on the **Run** button to launch the menu
