Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT

VIA USER INTERFACES

4.1 Introduction

Management of the CMR-5930 is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to
configure and manage the CMR-5930:

•

Web Interface via a LAN-based desktop Web browser

•

Terminal Interface via direct connection to a PC’s asynchronous serial port

•

Telnet Interface via a LAN

•

TFTP for remote terminal upgrades

•

SNMP Private MIB and MIB II (Future)

4.2 Web

Interface

The Web Interface, operating under standard HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP), is
used to communicate with and command the CMR-5930 via a HyperText Markup
Language-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To utilize the Web Interface, a LAN
connection must exist between a PC with a Web browser and the CMR-5930.

Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the
CMR-5930, activate a Web browser on the desktop, then enter the IP address for the
CMR-5930 into the URL field as shown in the Figure 4-1 example. If the port number
has been modified from the standard 80 via the Terminal Interface, then the port number
must be appended with a colon to the IP address.

Figure 4-1. Connecting to the CMR-5930

A successful connection between the PC and the CMR-5930 will result in the display of
the “splash page” shown in the Figure 4-2 example.
