The WebSphere Adapters software is fully accessible and section 508-compliant. If you install a WebSphere Adapter and require a WebSphere Business Integration Adapter product, please note that the WebSphere Business Integration Adapters are not accessible. Accessibility features enable users with physical disabilities, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to operate software products successfully. These features are built into WebSphere Adapters and WebSphere Business Integration Adapters installation and administration features.
- Installation
You can install WebSphere Adapters and WebSphere Business Integration Adapters either in graphical or silent form. The silent installation program is recommended for users with accessibility needs. For instructions, see Installing silently.
- Administration
The administrative console is the primary interface for interacting with the product. This console is displayed within a standard Web browser. By using an accessible Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, administrators are able to:
- Use screen-reader software and a digital speech synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the screen
- Use voice recognition software, such as IBM ViaVoice, to enter data and to navigate the user interface
- Operate features by using the keyboard instead of the mouse
You can configure and administer product features by using standard text editors and scripted or command line interfaces instead of the graphical interfaces that are provided.
When appropriate, the documentation for specific product features contains additional information about the accessibility of the features.
