System Administration
Choosing a Remote Connection
Once installed and configured for the customer’s network, the Access Gateway can be managed and
administered remotely with any of the following interface options:
Using the Web Management Interface (WMI)
―Provides a powerful and flexible Web interface for
network administrators.
Using an SNMP Manager
― Allows remote “Windows” management using an SNMP client
manager (for example, HP OpenView). However, before you can use SNMP to access the Access
Gateway, you must set up the appropriate SNMP communities. For more information, refer to
Managing the SNMP Communities {SNMP}
To use any of the remote connections (Web, SNMP, or Telnet), the network interface IP
address for the Access Gateway must be established (you did this during the installation
process).
Choose an interface connection, based on your preference.
Using the Web Management Interface (WMI)
The Web Management Interface (WMI) is a “graphical” version of the Command Line Interface, comprised
of HTML files. The HTML files are embedded in the Access Gateway and are dynamically linked to the
system’s functional command sets. You can access the WMI from any Web browser.
Your browser preferences or Internet options should be set to compare loaded pages with
cached pages.
To connect to the Web Management Interface, do the following:
1.
Establish a connection to the Internet.
2.
Open your Web browser.
3.
Enter the network interface IP address of the Access Gateway (set up during the installation process).
4.
Log in as usual (supplying your user name and password).
To access any menu item from the WMI, click on the item you want. The corresponding work screen then
appears in the right side frame. From here you can control the features and settings related to your selection.
Although the appearance is very different from the Command Line Interface, the information displayed to you
is basically the same. The only difference between the two interfaces is in the method used for making
selections and applying your changes (selections are checkable boxes, and applying your changes is achieved
by pressing the
Save
button). Pressing the
Restore
button resets the screen to its previous state (clearing all
your changes without applying them).
Selecting the language of the Web Management Interface
You can click on Language Selection to change the language of the Web Management Interface text.
Currently English (U.S.) and Chinese (simplified) are provided.
