Remote Connection
Important:
Before connecting to PAM from a remote computer, you are advised to disconnect
from your local Windows session on the PAP unit by clicking Start → Log Off.
You can connect to PAM from any remote computer running under Microsoft Windows using
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6:
1. From the remote computer, configure Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to connect directly to
the PAM Web site:
a. From the Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 main menu bar, select Tools → Internet
Options → Home Page.
b. Type the PAM Web site URL defined during the PAP installation procedure in the
home page address field: http://<PAP unitname>/pam.
c. Save your changes and close Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.
2. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to connect directly to the PAM web site.
3. When requested, enter the appropriate user id and password. The PAM home page
appears.
Notes:
If Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later is not installed on the remote computer, it can be
downloaded from the Microsoft Web site. If the operating system on the client computer is
Microsoft Windows XP, also download Java VM from the Microsoft Web site.
Local and remote access rights to the PAP unit and to the PAM Web site must be
configured by the Customer Administrator. For further details, refer to the Microsoft
Windows documentation and to Setting up PAP Unit Users, on page 5-18.
Several users can access the PAM Web site simultaneously and several browser sessions
can also be opened from the same computer to obtain different views of system operation.
Important:
If configuration changes are made, they may not be visible to other users unless they
refresh the PAM Tree.
