Chapter 4: Understanding the User Interface

Web Browser Interface

You can issue most of the AI2524 commands using a Web browser. This AI2524 feature is accessed by using the Web Browser interface, which is accessed from the router's home page.

From the router's home page, click on the Monitor the Router hyper text link to display a Web page with a Command field. You can typ commands in this field as if you were entering commands at a terminal connected to the router. The page also displays a list of commands (hy- pertext links) you can execute by clicking.

Use Compatible Hardware and Software

To use the Web Browser interface, your computer must have a World Wide Web browser. The Web Browser interface works with most browsers, including Netscape Navigator. Your Web browser must be able to read and submit forms. The earliest versions of Mosaic might have problems using the Web Browser interface, because they either cannot submit forms or have difficulty doing so.

The computer must be connected to the same network as the router or access server.
