Management Interface (WMI) that is web-browser (HTTP) based and a console type
Command Line Interface (CLI). This section provides the an overview on how to use
the browser based interface. For further information on the console-based interface,
refer to the Command Line Interface Guide co-located on this Documentation CD.

The Graphical User Interface is organized within three primary elements:
• Menu Area - Provides access to feature specific content and configuration
pages.
• Content Frame - The Content Frame is where all configuration and primary
content is displayed.
• Banner - Area spanning the top of the WMI pages.
Accessibility
The Web Management Interface is accessible through most HTML browsers, though
Internet Explorer 4.0 or Netscape 4.0 and higher are recommended.
User Interaction
Within the GUI, several different types of objects are employed to manage the
system. These objects are described below.
