Introduction
You may manage the Model 6511RC Matrix Switch by using its internal HTTP/HTML Web Management
windows. However, to access the HTTP/HTML windows, you must first define:
• The 6511RC system’s LAN IP method to obtain address
• LAN IP address
• LAN IP subnet mask for the 6511RC
If you have not defined the above parameters, refer to the procedures in the Getting Started Guide that came
with your 6511RC
Logging into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows
To log into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP)
address (for example,
http://your.server.ip.address ) as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide
Web (WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the 6511RC will ask for your user name and password
as shown in
figure 1 .

immediately after initial configuration.
