TTo Log In to the Web Manager as Admin

This procedure assumes that the prerequisites described under “Prerequisites for Using the Web Manager” on page 19 are done and that you can connect to the Web Manager.

1.To bring up the Web Manager, enter the IP address of the KVM/net in the address (URL) field of a supported browser on a computer running a Windows operating system.

Note: Devices like the AlterPath KVM/net that are installed in computer rooms are usually assigned fixed IP addresses. If DHCP is enabled, you must find out the dynamically assigned IP address each time before you bring up the Web Manager. Check with the administrator who configured the basic network parameters on the KVM/net, for help finding the IP address, if needed. Or see “Considerations When Choosing Whether to Enable DHCP” on page 57 for a list of ways to find out the KVM/net IP address assigned by the DHCP server.

a.If DHCP is enabled, enter the dynamically assigned IP address.

b.If DHCP is not enabled, use a fixed IP address assigned by the administrator to the KVM/net.

The Login page appears. If direct logins to ports is not enabled, a “username” and a “password” field appear on the login area of the screen, as shown in the following screen example.
