The User Interface
Overview
The implemented software provides necessary functionality for node
management, such as configuration and monitoring of the units.
Among the functions are:
• Network configuration changes
• Unit handling
• Software diagnostics and upgrade
The majority of the units handling procedures are carried out via a web
browser. The functions are also available via a text-based terminal connection.
Connecting to the units
Communication with the units is done either locally through a terminal
connected directly to the unit, or when the unit is in operation, remotely over
the in-band management network.
Required software
• Terminal software: To utilize the terminal connection via the Serial
Control Port, a standard terminal emulation software (VT100) is required,
e.g. Windows Terminal.
• FTP client: FTP is used to transfer the required configuration files to and
from the unit.
• Web interface: For the web interfaces a standard web-browser able to
handle Java-script and cookies should be used.
Internet Explorer 5.5, Mozilla 1.4 Netscape 7, Firefox 1.0 or later versions
are recommended web browsers.
