Chapter 4. DEVICE MANAGEMENT
VIA USER INTERFACES
4.1 Introduction
Management of the IS is simple and intuitive. There are a variety of ways to configure
and manage the IS:
•
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 IS 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 IS.
Once a valid IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway have been entered into the
IS, activate a Web browser on the desktop then enter the IP address for the IS 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 IS
A successful connection between the PC and the IS will result in the display of the
“splash page” shown in the Figure 4-2 example.
