BLACK BOX® CS Installation, Administration, and User’s Guide 43
Basic Installation Procedures
Note: To use the Web Manager, ask your system administrator for the CS’s IP
address. CS may be set up with a static IP address at your site. By default, CS
uses the IP address provided by the DHCP server. If your network does not
use DHCP, then CS defaults to 192.168.160.10.
Selecting A Security Profile Using the Web Manager
After the initial configuration, connect to the Web Manager by entering the IP
address of the CS in a supported browser.
Note: Once you login to the Web Manager, a Security Profile must be selected in
order to further configure CS using the Web Manager. For this reason your
browser redirects to Wizard > Step1: Security Profiles.
T To Select a Security Profile
Select a pre-defined Security Profile, or define a Custom profile for specific
services. The profiles are:
• Secured: Disables all protocols except SSHv2, HTTPS, and SSH to
Serial Ports.
• Moderate: Enables SSHv1, SSHv2, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH and
Raw connections to Serial Ports, ICMP, and HTTP redirection to
HTTPS.
• Open: Enables all services, Telnet, SSHv1, SSHv2, HTTP, HTTPS,
SNMP, RPC, ICMP and Telnet, SSH and Raw connections to Serial
Ports.
• Default: Sets the profile to the same configuration as Moderate.
• Custom: Enable or disable individual protocols and services, and
configure access to ports.
For detailed information on Security Profiles see “Security Profiles” on page
226.
The administrator can perform the following tasks using the Web Manager.
• Administer CS and its connected devices.
• Configure user and group permissions.
