Using the Management Access Program or a
Standard Web Browser
MAP has the following requirements:
• The Microsoft TCP/IP protocol stack must be installed on this PC. It is not
necessary for the network to support TCP/IP. However, the TCP/IP protocol must be
installed on this PC even if the network does not support it.
• A web browser must be installed on this PC. Both Netscape Navigator and Internet
Explorer are supported.
• If the IPX search functions are to be used, then IPX must be installed on this PC.
Both the Microsoft and the NetWare 32-bit stacks are supported.
The Management Access Program (MAP) uses a Windows-based HTML viewer
program linked with a proprietary bi-directional IPX/IP channel program to allow
access to the Network Card's HTML-based monitoring and maintenance capabilities.
An IP Web Browser also provides access to this capability directly. Either program
allows you to:
• Configure your network protocols for the Network Card.
• Reset the Network Card remotely to either clear an error condition, or return the
print server to its factory default settings.
• Troubleshoot problems in the Network Card.
• Enable or disable the status page printout.
• Access a context-sensitive help menu that fully explains how to use each
Management Access Program feature.
Note:
To be able to change parameter values with the Management Access Program or
the Web Browser, you must know the Network Card management password. The
factory default password is “sysadm”.
