Patton electronic Model 2604 manual Introduction, Logging into the HTTP/HTML Administration Pages

1 • Introduction T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide

Introduction

You may configure the digital cross connect (DACS) by using its internal HTTP/HTML Administration Pages. However, to enter into the HTTP/HTML pages, you must first define the LAN Address Technique, LAN IP Address, and LAN Subnet Mask for the DACS. If you have not done so, please refer to the Getting Started Guide that came with your DACS.

Logging into the HTTP/HTML Administration Pages

To log into the HTTP/HTML Administration pages, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP) (for example, http://your.server.ip.address) address as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide Web

(WWW)browser. After you enter the IP address, the DACS will ask for your user name and password as shown in figure 1.

Figure 1. DACS login window

Your DACS will accept the following default administrative passwords:

•superuser—this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the DACS

•monitor—this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.

Note For security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords immediately after initial configuration.

HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format

In this document, we shall describe the variables found on each of the internal HTTP/HTML pages. This description will include brief definitions of the Patton Enterprise MIB or SNMP MIB II object identifiers wherever applicable. The format of the variables will resemble figure 2.
