Perle Systems DS1 manual Using the WebManager, Accessing the Menu

Page 30

WebManager

WebManager

The WebManager is a web-browser based method of configuring/managing a Device Server.

To access a Device Server through the WebManager, open up your web browser and type in the IP address of the Device Server that you want to manage/configure. A login screen will appear.Type in the Admin password.

Using the WebManager

The Server Configuration window is displayed after you first logon. The running Device Server configuration is displayed in the WebManager. You navigate through the different configuration windows by selecting the configuration window from the drop-down options in the upper-lefthand corner of the browser.

When you have completed all the changes to a configuration window, click the Submit button. After you make all your configuration changes, click the Save to FLASH button. If you want your changes to take effect immediately, click the Reboot button. You can make changes to a line, Submit them, and then click the Kill Line button to test the changes immediately; however, if you do not click the Save to FLASH button, your changes will be lost the next time the Device Server reboots. After you click the Reboot button, you will need to reconnect and login to the Device Server.

Note: Use the WebManager’s drop-down menus to navigate through the WebManager. Do not use the browser’s Back button.

CLI

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a command line option for Device Server configuration/management and user access. See Chapter 6, Command Line Interface on page 75 for a full explanation of how to use the CLI.

Menu

The Menu is a window-oriented Device Server configuration and user access option. To manage the Device Server, you will also need to use the CLI, WebManager, or DeviceManager, as you cannot download or upload files to the Device Server through the Menu.

Accessing the Menu

Menu access is available to any user whose Line Service is set to DSLogin, and whose User Service is set to DSPrompt. What the user sees depends on what the User Level is set to:

zMenu—Users with User Level Menu will only see the sessions that have been set up for them. They can start predefined sessions, kill (stop) a running session, resume a session, and logout of the Device Server.

zRestricted—Users with User Level Restricted can basically perform the same tasks as a Menu user, except that they have the option of performing these tasks via the Menu or the CLI.

zNormal—Users with User Level Normal can do everything a Restricted user can do, plus start a free session (connecting to any host on the network), set up their own user parameters (sessions, password, language, hotkey prefix), define their terminal, and become the Admin user (if they know the Admin password).

zAdmin—Users with User Level Admin (not the Admin user), have complete access to the Device Server, the same as the Admin user. Through the Menu program, the Admin level user can configure the Device Server, although there are several tasks that can only be done in the CLI, such as downloading and uploading files and saving the configuration to FLASH.
