AlterPath OnSite Administrator’s and User’s Guide
If DHCP is enabled and you do not know how to find out the current IP
address of the OnSite, contact the OnSite’s installer for help.
• The user account must be defined on OnSite
By default, the “admin” has an account on the Web Manager. An
administrative user can create regular user accounts and authorize them to
access connected devices using the Web Manager.
T To Log Into the Web Manager
1. Enter the IP address of the OnSite in the address (URL) field of a browser.
Note: Check with the administrator who configured the basic network
parameters on the OnSite for the IP address and the password, if needed.
• If DHCP is not enabled, use a static IP address or DNS-administered
name assigned by the network administrator to the OnSite.
• If DHCP is enabled, enter the dynamically-assigned or a fixed IP
address defined on the DHCP server.
The Login screen appears.
2. Enter your account name in the “username” field and the password in the
“password” field.
3. Click “Go.”
• For regular users, if the “Web Manager - Regular User” window
appears you are finished logging in. See Chapter 4, “Web Manager for
Regular Users,” if needed, for how to use the Web Manager after
logging in.
• For administrative users, the Web Manager comes up in one of two
modes.
See “Web Manager Modes” on page 135, if needed, for an
introduction to the modes.
• The first time the admin user logs in, the Web Manager Wizard
mode automatically comes up at “Step 1: Security Profile” to
prompt the admin user to select a security profile before
continuing to perform the other Wizard steps.
