address before the Web Manager can be accessed through the browser.
Following are three ways to find out the dynamically-assigned IP address:
• Make an inquiry to the DHCP server on the subnet that the ACS
resides, using the MAC address (The MAC address is labeled at the
bottom of the ACS).
• Connect to ACS remotely using Telnet or SSH and use the
ifconfig command.
• Connect directly to the ACS and use the ifconfig command
through a terminal emulator application.
• A user account must be defined on the Web Manager.
By default, the “admin” has an account on the Web Manager. An
administrator can add regular user accounts to grant access to the
connected servers or devices using the Web Manager.
Types of Users
ACS supports the following user account types:
• The “root” user who can manage the ACS and its connected devices. The
“root” user performs the initial network configuration. Access privileges
are full read/write and management.
Note: It is strongly recommended to change the default password “tslinux” before
setting up the ACS for secure access to the connected servers or devices.
• Users who can be part of an “Admin” group with administrative
privileges. This may be a regular user who can perform the same tasks as
an administrator.
• Regular users who can access the connected devices through the serial
ports they are authorized for. Regular users have limited access to the Web
Manager features.
Security
The AlterPath ACS includes a set of security profiles that consists of
predefined parameters to control access to ACS and its serial ports. This
feature provides more control over the services that are active at any one time.
