The GUI presented by the embedded web server authenticates the user before allowing a web session to be
initiated. It presents all functions to all users but grays out those functions that the user does not have
privilege to execute. For example, if a user does not have privilege to power control, then the item shall be
displayed in greyed out font in that user’s UI display. The web GUI also provides a launch point for some of
the advanced features, such as KVM and media redirection. These features are grayed out in the GUI unless
the system has been updated to support these advanced features. The embedded web server only displays
US English or Chinese language output.

•
