OnSite Series Getting Started Guide 4 • System Management Access

See “Web-Based Management Interface” on page 45 for a description of the Web-based management interface features. Once you gain access to the system through the Ethernet LAN port, you may change the IP settings for the port for secure access in the future.

5.Refer to the OnSite Series Administrator’s Reference Guide, located on the CD that came with your unit and online at www.patton.com for instructions on how to change the IP settings for the Ethernet LAN port.

	Save the system configuration to prevent the loss of the new IP
	settings if a system reboot occurs.
CAUTION	Refer to the OnSite Series Administrator’s Reference Guide,
	located on the CD that came with your unit and online at
	www.patton.com for instructions.

Note Once the changes take place, you will loose connectivity to the sys- tem, but you can regain access immediately by typing the new IP address of the system in the Address field of the browser.

Web-Based Management Interface

The system provides a simple but powerful Web-based management interface to configure and monitor the OnSite OS-10 system. This graphical user interface (GUI) is called the OnSight Device Manager (DM) and is accessible through a Web browser using Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

Note The system supports the following Web browsers: Microsoft Internet

Explorer 6+, Netscape 7+, Mozilla 1.7+, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0+ on

Windows, Solaris, and Linux platforms.

The OnSight DM allows you to have full access to the system management functions. These functions include the ability to set up or change all configurable items on the system and the ability to create and delete connec- tions between the client ports and SDH network interface. The interface also allows you to monitor and dis- play current active alarms, performance monitoring parameters, and alarm and event logs.

Launching the GUI Application

To launch the Web-based management interface, follow these steps:

Note This procedure requires prior configuration of the IP address of the Ethernet LAN management port through the RS-232 SERIAL port or LAN port, as indicated in §6.4.

1.Connect the PC to the Ethernet LAN management port using the RJ-45 connector.

Note You may connect the PC to the system from a remote location using an IP LAN or WAN that connects to the Ethernet LAN management port.

2.Launch the Web browser of your choice, and type the IP address of the system in the Address field of the browser.

3.Log in to the system using the super, admin, or monitor user ID and password.
