2: Installing the ACS
After the initial configuration, you can configure the network further by using any of the following methods:
•Web Interface
•Command Line Interface via SSH
•AlterPath Manager, if installed in your network
To use the ACS web management interface, ask your System Administrator for the IP address. By default, ACS uses the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If your network doesn’t have DHCP, then ACS will default to 192.168.160.10. Configure your ACS to connect to this address and run the web interface.
Task 3: Configure via Web Wizard
Proceed to Chapter 4: Configuring the Web Interface, and complete the procedure for configuring ACS in Wizard Mode.
Task 4: Test Configuration
Log in as a regular user and connect to a port.
Check the other features (e.g., Data Buffering, Management, etc.) as discussed in Chapter 3: Using the ACS.
