Places Where You Can Run the Browser Interface
The Browser Interface resides in your Flash RAM. However, unlike the Hub
Console Interface, it can be run using less connection types. You can begin a
Browser Interface session in the hub in the following ways:
■
directly, using an in-band network connection
■
directly, using either a network cable or serial cable, running HP
AdvanceStack Assistant on a management station
Establishing a Browser Interface Session
To establish a Browser Interface session, perform the following steps:
1. Launch your Web Browser.
2. Enable Javascript/Applets.
• In Netscape 4.0, click on the Java/Javascript option found under the
Security Menu.
• In Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, click on the Settings menu.
See the online help in your browser for more specific information on how
to enable Javascript.
3. Type the IP address of the hub you want to access in the Location field
and press Enter. If you are using a Domain Name Server (DNS), your hub
may have a friendly name associated with it (for example, Hub20) that
you can type in the Location field. See your network administrator for the
friendly name associated with the hub.
The Browser Interface first displays the Overview Window under the Status
Tab as shown in Figure 4-1. This location is the home window for the Browser
Interface or the window you arrive at when you run the Browser Interface.
This window has two sections: a Gauges Area, across the top portion of the
window, and an Alert Log, in the bottom portion.
