4.6 How to Access the LSI SCS Web Setup Interface

Be sure to add the proper route statement (

to your

https://10.9.8.7:8098/

warn you that the certificate does not match the host. You may continue using this
certificate, but you should create a new certificate after setting up the SCS.

3. Refer to the file

/usr/local/doc/ssl.cert.README

for more information about

creating certificates.

4. Press Start.
5. Enter

root

as the user name and

root

as the password.

6. The main configuration menu is displayed. Make your changes.

Help

is available for

each page.

7. When all your changes are made, select Control Panel from the Main Menu and then

select Shutdown/Reboot. Reboot the SCS and all your changes will take effect.

This interface is for setup only. It cannot be used to access the device ports. To disable
the web interface, see the instructions located in

/lsi/README

.

5.1.2 SCS System Architecture

SCS software design uses both RAM (volatile) and Compact Flash (non-volatile) memory. All
system changes are maintained in RAM until they are written to the Compact Flash
memory. A read-only memory system is used since Compact Flash memory devices have
a limited number of read-write cycles.

After making administrative changes to the system, the root user must run the SAVE

command to write the changes to the non-volatile memory. If the data changes are not
saved, the parameter changes will be lost in the event of a power failure or power-down.
