Note: If there are cron jobs running through automated scripts, a “root” or “admin”
user login can cause the automated cron jobs to fail. Make sure that the users
with administrative privileges are aware of this.
Web Manager
ACS administrators perform most tasks through the Web Manager either
locally or from a remote location. The Web Manager runs in a browser and
provides a real-time view of all the equipment that is connected to the ACS.
The ACS administrator can use the Web Manager to configure users and
ports. An authorized user can access connected devices through the Web
Manager to troubleshoot, maintain, recycle power, and reboot connected
devices.
Access to the Web Manager is through one of the following ways:
• Through the IP Network.
• Through a dial-in or callback connection with one of the following:
• An optional external modem connected to one of the serial ports.
• A modem on an optional PCMCIA modem card.
• An optional CDMA, GSM, or ISDN card.

Manager can be launched over the network.
See “Performing Basic Network Configuration Using the wiz Command”

leased IP address may change every time ACS reboots. Therefore, an
additional step needs to be taken to find out the dynamically-assigned IP
