Management tool
The management tool is a Web-based interface to the controller that provides easy access to
all configuration and monitoring functions.
Management scenarios
For complete flexibility, you can manage the controller both locally and remotely. The
following management scenarios are supported:
Local management using a computer that is connected to the LAN or Internet port on the
controller. This may be a direct connection or through a switch.
Remote management via the Internet with or without a VPN connection. See Securing
controller communications to remote VPN servers on page 16-6 for more information on
using the controller integrated VPN clients to create secure remote connections.
Management station
The management station refers to the computer that a manager or operator uses to connect
to the management tool. To act as a management station, a computer must:
Have at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 7/8 or Firefox 3.x.
Be able to establish an IP connection with the controller.
Note Before installation, ensure that TCP/IP is installed and configured on the management
station. IP addressing can be either static or DHCP.
Starting the management tool
To launch the management tool, specify the following in the address bar of your browser:
https://Controller_IP_address
By default, the address 192.168.1.1 is assigned to the LAN port on the controller. For
information on starting the management tool for the first time, see the relevant guide as
described in Getting started on page 1-13.
