MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide
Web Tools Overview
Web Tools provides a graphical user interface that allows the administrator to
monitor and manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from any
standard workstation.
Using a standard Web browser with a Java
TM
Plug-in, Web Tools can be used to
manage the MSA SAN Switch either locally or remotely.
Note:
Web Tools can be run from any workstation that supports a Java Runtime
Environment version JRE 1.2.-008 or later.
The Java Plug-in can be loaded from the documentation CD included in the
shipping carton with the switch. The plug-in is loaded in the Firmware
subdirectory. Double-click on the JAVAPLUGIN.EXE file to begin the installation
procedure.
Note:
Before the switch can be used or can be managed through Web Tools, an
appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address must be first entered
through the CLI.
