Web Manager
Users and administrators can perform most tasks through the web manager (accessed with HTTP
or HTTPS). The web manager runs in the Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer
®
6.0 and 7.0 internet
browser, and the Mozilla ® Firefox ® 2 and 3 internet browser on any supported computer that
has network access to the virtual console server.
An administrator can use the web manager to create user accounts, authorize groups and
configure security and ports. Authorized users can access connected devices through the web
manager to troubleshoot, maintain, reboot connected devices and change their password. For
more information on the web manager, see Accessing a Virtual Console Server via the Web
Manager on page 11.
