5 Management
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The MACH 3001 supports SNMP and Web-
based management and thus offers a extensive diagnosis and configuration functions.
5.2 WEB-BASED MANAGEMENT
In order to open the Web-based management interface you need a Web browser
(program which enables to read hypertext),
for example the Netscape Navigator/Communicator or the Microsoft Internet Explorer
from version 4.x on.
Start your Web browser.
Make sure that Javascript and Java in
your browser is switched on.
To establish the connection enter the IP
address of the MACH 3001 you want to
manage with the Web-based management in the address field of the Web
browser in the following way:
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Note: The Web-based interface uses the
plugin "Java™ Runtime Environment Version 1.3". If this is not installed on your computer, an installation via the internet is started automatically on the first start of the
Web-based interface. This installation takes
a lot of time.
For Windows NT users: Because of that
stop the installation. Install the plugin from
the enclosed CDROM. For that start the program file j2re1_3_1_xx-win-i.exe in the Java
table on the CDROM.
Login window
Choose the desired language.
In the password field the password
"public", which gives you reading
access, is pre-setted. If you want to
access the MACH 3001 with writing
access, mark the contents of the password field and overwrite it with the
password "private" (state of delivery).
Changing the password protects the
MACH 3001 against illegal access.
Click on OK.
