Online help

When the online help feature is configured for your virtual console server, clicking the Help button from any form on the web manager opens a new window and redirects its content to the configured path for the online help product documentation.

NOTE: Using the online help feature from the Avocent web site is not always possible due to firewall configurations, nor is it recommended. It is generally advisable for you to use the online help system provided with the product or download the online help .zip file and run it from a local server.

The system administrator can download the online help from Avocent. For more information on downloading the online help, contact Technical Support.

Once the online help file is obtained (in zip format), the files must be extracted and put in to a user-selected directory under the web server’s root directory. The web server must be publicly accessible.

NOTE: The default URL for online help is http://global.avocent.com/us/olh/acsv6000/v_2.3.0/en/index.html.
