Connecting to Servers Remotely Through the Web Manager

The system may launch one or two browser windows: the AlterPath Viewer and the Access Window for KVM connections, or an ActiveX viewer for RDP connections. See “Server Connections: What You See” on page 310 for a description of each window.

Note: The first time the system invokes the AlterPath Viewer, it prompts you to accept a security certificate. Click Accept.

TTo Connect to a KVM Port Through the Web Manager Login Screen

This procedure assumes that the KVM/net administrator has enabled direct logins to KVM ports.

1.Enter the IP address of the KVM/net alone or the IP address of the KVM/ net followed by the KVM port number (in the required format) in the address field of a browser.

The required format for entering a KVM port number in the URL is:

IP_address/login.asp?portname=portnumber

where IP_address is the IP address of the KVM/net and portnumber is the portnumber or alias assigned to the KVM port.

Note: Check with the administrator who configured the basic network parameters on the KVM/net, for help finding the IP address and the “admin” password, if needed. Also if needed, see an example of the proper format for entering the port number in “Login Screen: Direct Logins Enabled, IP Address

and Port Entered” on page 320.

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

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

The Web Manager login screen appears. If you entered a KVM port ID in the URL, the “port field” is filled in with the port ID you entered.
