Prerequisites for Using the Web Manager
The prerequisites described in this section must be complete before anyone
can access the Web Manager. If you have questions about any of the following
prerequisites, contact your site’s system or network administrator.
• An administrator needs to define basic network parameters on the KVM/
net so the Web Manager can be launched over the network.
See “Configuring Basic Networking Using the wiz Command” on page 85
for instructions on how to define network parameters on the KVM/net.
The administrator also needs the following to be able to connect to the KVM/
net through the Web Manager:
• A networked Windows computer that has access to the network where the
KVM/net is installed.
• A supported browser. Internet Explorer 5 and above, Netscape 8, Mozilla,
and Firefox browsers are supported for configuration and management of
KVM/net. Internet Explorer, Netscape 8, and Mozilla are recommended
browsers for accessing servers through a KVM-over-IP session.
• The IP address of the KVM/net.
Entering the IP address of the KVM/net in the address field of one of the
supported browsers listed in Table 1-14 is the first step required to access
the Web Manager.
When DHCP is enabled, a device’s IP address may change each time the
KVM/net is booted up. Anyone wanting to access the KVM/net must find
out the currently assigned IP address. If DHCP is enabled and you do not
know how to find out the current IP address of the KVM/net, contact your
