7MANAGEMENT USING THE
WEB INTERFACE
This chapter describes how to use the web interface. If you have any
problems using the web interface, refer to “Solving Problems With the
Web Interface” on page 8-4.
Accessing the
Web Interface You can access the web interface for the stack either through the
console port or over the network. Ensure that your management
station has been appropriately set up for your particular management
method and that any necessary connections have been made, refer to
“Web Interface” on page 5-12.
If you want to access the web interface through a serial link from a
Windows® ‘95 management station (c onnected to the console port of
a hub in the stack), you must use the 3Com serial web utility (SLIP
Driver); refer to Appendix C.
Any number of people can access the web interface over the network,
at the same time. There is a password panel to prevent unauthorized
management of the stack.
To access the web interface:
1Start your web browser.
2In the browser, select the option for opening a location.
