Remote management interface (RMI)
Overview
The remote management interface (RMI) lets you monitor and control your device through the World
Wide Web (WWW). The RMI hosts a dedicated, protected Internet site that displays a graphical
representation of your device.
Before using the RMI, you must configure the device network settings and set the administrator password
with the OCP.

Settings) ” on page 94 and “ Changing the administrator password (Configuration > Change Admin
Password) ” on page 90.)
To start the RMI, open any HTML browser and enter the IP address of the device in the browser's
address bar.
TIP:
Check the Help screens in the RMI for additional information. The help pages are updated with most
firmware updates and often contain technical details that are not contained in this document. To
access RMI help, click
Help on the right side of the Web page banner, as shown in “ Getting
help ” on page 52.
