58 System Administration
Using the Web Management Interface (WMI)
The Web Management Interface (WMI) is a “graphical” version of the Command
Line Interface, comprised of HTML files. The HTML files are embedded in the HSG
and are dynamically linked to the system’s functional command sets. You can access
the WMI from any Web browser.
To connect to the Web Management Interface, do the following:
1. Establish a connection to the Internet.
2. Open your Web browser.
3. Enter the network interface IP address of the HSG (set up during the installation
process).
4. Log in as usual (supplying your user name and password).
To access any menu item from the WMI, simply click on the item you want. The
corresponding work screen then appears in the right side frame. From here you can
control the features and settings related to your selection. Although the appearance is
very different from the Command Line Interface, the information displayed to you is
basically the same. The only difference between the two interfaces is in the method
used for making selections and applying your changes (selections are checkable
boxes, and applying your changes is achieved by pressing the
Submit button).
Pressing the
Reset button resets the screen to its previous state (clearing all your
changes without applying them).
Your browser preferences or Internet options should be set to compare
loaded pages with cached pages.
