Belkin OmniView manual Web Interface, Telnet

2-5 Using your Remote IP Manager

Installation

Web Interface

The RIPM may be accessed using a standard Java™-enabled web browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just enter the configured IP address of the RIPM into your web browser. The initial login settings are:

Parameter	Value
Login	administrator
Password	belkin

Changing these settings to user-specific values is strongly recommended and can be done on the “User Management” page.

Telnet

A standard Telnet client can be used to access an arbitrary device connected to the RIPM serial port via a terminal mode.

The primary interface of the RIPM is the HTTP interface. In order to use the Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser has to come with a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. If the browser has no Java support (such as on a small handheld device), you are still able to maintain your remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser itself.

For an unsecured connection to the RIPM, we can recommend the following web browsers:

•Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher on Windows 2000 and XP

•Netscape Navigator 7.0 on Windows 2000 and XP

In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection, you need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only ensured by using a 128-bit key length.
