Using the DockLINK Manager

The DockLINK Manager allows you to interrogate and interact with the DockLINK from the local station using a Web browser. Your browser must support Java script and frames. After launching your browser, enter the IP Address for the DockLINK. If you just setup the DockLINK for the first time, you should have already assigned the DockLINK’s IP Address using the IP ASSIGN Utility, or with the VT-100 terminal.

This section discusses how to log onto the DockLINK, and how to use the DockLINK Manager.

The DockLINK Manager

The DockLINK Manager allows you to view pages, which contain configuration information about the DockLINK. Using the manager, you can assign passwords, set up IP Address for the DockLINK, set address filters, and view DockLINK performance statistics.

When using the DockLINK Manager to make changes, edit your choices on the manager’s pages, then accept all session changes by accessing the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION - CONFIGURATION CHANGES page. This causes the DockLINK to store configuration changes. Changes take effect after you save the changes and reset the DockLINK.
