Online Help

When the online help feature is configured for your 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/Cyclades server is not always possible due to firewall configurations, nor is it recommended. It is generally advisable for you to download the online help .zip file and run it from a local server.

Online help for the console server should be downloaded from www.avocent.com. For more information on downloading the online help, contact Technical Support. The procedure for configuring the online help on the local server follows.

Select Administration - Online Help in Expert mode. The online help configuration page is displayed.

The console server administrator can download the online help .zip file and reconfigure the path to a local server where the online help can be stored and accessed by the web manager. The console server firmware stores the new link in Flash and accesses the online help files whenever the help button is clicked.

The Online Help Path field is where the path will be entered for the web manager to locate the online help files. The Help button on the web manager looks for its help files in the location specified here. By default, http://global.avocent.com/us/olh/acs5000/v_3.3.0 is the location specified in the field. It is recommended that the administrator reconfigure this path to use a local server.

The console server administrator can change the URL in the URL Prefix field to point the Help button to the new local server location for the files.
