The remote management interface (RMI)
Overview of the RMI
The RMI lets you monitor and control your device through the World Wide Web (WWW). The RMI hosts a
dedicated, protected internet site that displays a graphical representation of your device.
Before using the RMI, you must configure the device network settings and set the administrator
password with the OCP.
(See
Configuring IPv4 network settings (Configuration > Configure Network
on page 110 and
Changing the administrator password (Configuration > Change Admin
on page 104.)
To start the RMI, open any HTML browser and enter the IP address of the device in the browser address bar.
TIP:
Check the
Help
screens in the RMI for additional information. The help pages are updated with most
firmware updates and often contain technical details that are not contained in this document. To access
RMI help, click
Help
on the right side of the web page banner, as shown in
on page 61.
