Domain Management

Accessing the appliance interface

The storefront appliance can be configured and managed remotely through a
Web-based interface, which consists of a series of HTML pages and navigational
links. Administrators can use the features found in the interface to create
domains and users, monitor system status and resource utilization, configure
network services, and perform maintenance and troubleshooting tasks.

To access the Web-based interface

1. Open your Web browser. Use either Netscape Navigator 4.73 or Internet

Explorer 5.01 (Internet Explorer 4.x is not recommended).

2. Make sure that support for Javascript and cookies is enabled for your

browser. In Netscape, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced. In Internet
Explorer, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security.

3. Point your browser to the IP address of the appliance you want to access,

followed by a colon and the port number 5555. For example:

http://121.122.123.1:5555

4. At the Login page, enter the username and password for the administrator

account you created during the initial setup process.

Publishing Web pages

Administrators and end users can author and publish Web content to their
respective domains or personal Web sites. First, create your Web pages locally
using any HTML authoring tool, and then transfer the files to the appropriate
subdirectory on the appliance.

Using FTP

You must know the following information in order to publish to a specific domain
on the appliance using FTP:

Hostname or IP address of the domain

Your account login name and password

Filename of the home page (the default is index.htm)
