Chapter 3 Web Based Management

3.1 Introduction

This chapter will explain the operation of the FRM220-NMC Web based interface used to monitor and configure

the FRM220 fiber media converter rack.

The management station may be attached directly to the FRM220-NMC card with an Ethernet cable. Typically

the workstation will be attached to a network's HUB or switch and the equipment to be managed may be connected

to the same subnet or may be connected on a remote network that has access via a router to the local subnet.

Follow the procedures in Chapter 2 for configuring the NMC for TCP/IP communication. Once this is completed

and the Ethernet port of the NMC is connected to your network, the unit may be managed from any browser under

any Operating System. The examples that follow are done with Internet Explorer 8 running on XP.

3.2 Web Based Management Operation

3.2.1 Introduction

This section assumes that the Web Based management using a workstation as in section 1 and that the

SNMP agent has been correctly configured as in section 2. This chapter will detail the operation of the web GUI in

monitoring and controlling the FRM220 Platform Media Rack.

3.2.2 Configuration

3.2.2.1 Start the Web Based application

Start the application by opening a web browser application such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the

address of the FRM220 in the format http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the NMC

card. A login username and password may or may not be required to enter the configuration. The default username

and password are not set initially. In the example, we have already set a user as 'admin' through the console.

Figure 3.1 Web manager login

After a successful login, the home page for the rack will be displayed. All card inventory and LED status are

shown in near real-time.

Note: CTC Union has an online demo unit placed on a public IP and answerable by DNS. We hope this demo

will help our resellers to promote our product. End users may also find that evaluating our unit could lead to a

decision to purchase our product. We are also trusting everyone to behave and not corrupt our demo unit or place

any graffiti on it.
