Global Management System User’s Guide
Enabling Global Management System on the iPower
Two items need to be congured in the iPower system before Global Management System can
manage the iPower.
• Enable WebRemote in the iPower.
• Congure the gms_admin user in the Administrator Tools folder in Windows.
An optional but recommended item would be to change the iPower system password.
Enable WebRemote in iPower AdminTools
1. Go to Start > PictureTel iPower > Administrator Information > Admin Tools.
2. In the main navigation section, click on Utilities, then click on the Network Management
Tab.
3. Check “Allow Web Remote Management”.
Conguring the gms_admin user
1. Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer
Management >
2. In the side navigation under System Tools, click on Local Users and Groups and then
Users.
3. Click on gms_admin users in the User List. Open the Properties window.
4. In the General Tab, make sure that “Account is disabled” is unchecked and apply the
changes.
Changing the iPower password
It is also a good idea to change the default blank password to something else for security
reasons.
1. Go to Start Menu > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer
Management >
2. In the side navigation under System Tools, click on Local Users and Groups and then
Users.
3. Click on gms_admin users in the User List.

This password also needs to be entered into Global Management when adding the iPower
system to the list of systems managed by Global Management System.
