Chapter 2: Accessing CC-SG
Once you have configured CC-SG with an IP address, the CC-SG unit can be placed at its final
destination. Make all necessary hardware connections to make the unit operational.
You can access CC-SG in several ways, each described in this chapter:
• Browser: CC-SG supports numerous web browsers. (For a complete list of supported
browsers and platforms, please refer to the Compatibility Matrix on
http://www.raritan.com/support . On the Support page, click Firmware Upgrades, and
then click CommandCenter Secure Gateway.)
• Thick Client: You can install a Java Web Start thick client on your client computer. The
thick client functions exactly like the browser-based client.
• SSH: Remote devices connected via the serial port can be accessed using SSH. Please refer to
Chapter 12: Advanced Administration for additional information.
• Diagnostic Console: Provides emergency repair and diagnostics only and is not a
replacement for the browser-based GUI to configure and operate CC-SG. Please refer to
Chapter 12: Advanced Administration for additional information.
Note: Users can be connected simultaneously, using the browser, thick client, and SSH while
accessing CC-SG.
Browser-Based Access
1. Using a supported Internet browser, type this URL: https://<IP_address>/admin where
<IP_address> is the IP address of the CC-SG. For example, https://10.20.3.30/admin .
2. When the security alert window appears, click Yes to continue.
3. You will be warned if you are using an unsupported Java Runtime Environment version on
your machine. From the window that pops up, select whether you will download the correct
JRE version from the CC-SG server (if available), download it from the Sun Microsystems
website, or continue with the incorrect version, and then click OK. The Login window
appears.
