CHAPTER
4
Web Manager for Administrators
This section is for administrators who use the Web Manager to configure the ACS 5000 console
server. For information on how to perform administration with shell commands or the Command
Line Interface (CLI), see the Cyclades ACS 5000 Command Reference Guide.
This section provides an overview of the Web Manager. Subsequent sections describe the menus,
screens and the configuration procedures of the Web Manager in Wizard and Expert modes. If you
are a regular user who is not a member of the Admin group, see Chapter 3 for more information.
Log Into the Web Manager
To log into the Web Manager:
1. To display the Web Manager, enter the IP address of the console server in the address field of
your browser.
NOTE: The ACS console server is usually assigned a static IP address. If DHCP is enabled, you must find out
the dynamically-assigned IP address each time you need to run the Web Manager. If necessary, use the default
static IP address 192.168.160.10 pre-configured in the console server.
a. If DHCP is disabled, use the static IP address assigned by the administrator.
b. If DHCP is enabled, enter the dynamically-assigned IP address.
The Login page appears.
2. Log in as
root and enter the root password. The default password is avocent.
CAUTION: It is important to change the root and admin default passwords as soon as possible to avoid security
breaches.
If another administrator is already logged in, a dialog box will prompt you to log off the other
administrator before logging in.
3. Select Yes or No and then click Apply.
