Online Help
When the online help feature is configured for your console server, clicking the Help button from
any form on the Web Manager opens a new window and redirects its content to the configured path
for the online help product documentation.
NOTE: Using the online help feature from the Avocent/Cyclades server is not always possible due to firewall
configurations, nor is it recommended. It is generally advisable for you to use the online help system provided
with the product or download the online help .zip file and run it from a local server.
Online help for the ACS console server is shipped with the product and should be loaded on a local
server. The system administrator can also download the online help from Avocent. For more
information on downloading the online help, contact Technical Support.
Once the online help file is obtained (in ZIP format), the files must be extracted and put in to a user-
selected directory under the web server’s root directory. The web server must be publicly
accessible.
NOTE: The default URL for online help is http://global.avocent.com/us/olh/acs6000/v_1.0.0/en/index.html. It is
recommended that you choose a local web server on which to mount the online help files.
To configure online help to run from the local server:
1. Click on Appliance Settings - Online Help. The Online Help configuration screen is displayed.
2. Enter the full URL of the online help on the local web server. For the starting point of the
online help to be valid, the URL must end in /index.html.
3. Click Save.
