2-4 YesWare Server operating system and software modules
Software Release 2.30 YesWare Applications User’s Guide 08-01016-01
Using YesWare web-based modules
All YesWare modules are web-based, and are launched by browsing to the IP
address configured for the YesWare Server ETH 0 network interface.
Connecting to the ETH 0 interface
To access the YWS ETH 0 interface, you must have access to the network
where the YWS resides. This can be done with a PC connected over a network,
internetwork, simple passive hub, or through a direct connection to the YWS
ETH 0 interface.
Browsing to the ETH 0 URL
Before using the YesWare web-based modules described in this manual, you
must know the IP address configured for the ETH 0 interface.
Accessing the YWS main web page is done by specifying the ETH 0
Universal Resource Locator (URL), using a PC with a web browser (Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator). The URL must include the ETH 0 IP address
followed by the "nss/" directory, as in the following example (for a YWS at
ETH 0 IP address 10.255.254.2):
10.255.254.2/nss/
If the "/nss/" is not included in the ETH 0 URL, the system will return a denial
of access. If the ETH 0 URL is entered correctly, the YesWare login dialog
appears as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-5:
Finding an unknown ETH 0 IP address configuration
If you do not know the IP configuration set for ETH 0, login to the EON
console interface and use the port command to display the ETH 0 settings
(ETH 1 values are also displayed). See Table 3-2, “EON commands” on page
3-8 for a description of the EON port command.
Direct PC connection to ETH 0
To connect a PC directly to the ETH 0 interface, a Category 5 Ethernet crossover
cable must be used and the PC must be configured as a TCP/IP node on the same
LAN and subnet as the ETH 0 interface.
YWS default-configured ETH 0 IP address
To access the YWS, use the IP address configured using the console interface
(see Chapter 3, “YesWare Server host network configuration”) or the default-
configured ETH 0 address.
The YWS is configured before shipping with the following ETH 0 IP address:
192.168.1.2
