Logging In
Whenever you access the MR9600-100 for the first time during a browser session, you will be prompted for
a user ID and password. You must log in as someone of security level operator or higher to get access to the
Web interface.
Both the framed and the non-framed interfaces present logged-in users with a list of available views
(Framed or Standard), a list of operations, and a list of information views. These are all available via
hypertext links.
Getting Modem Information
In each interface the same information is available in table format. There are tables of information about
modems, calls on modems, modem and system faults, and system version. In the framed version these
tables appear in frames on a single HTML page; in the non-framed version each table appears on a
separate HTML page.
Controlling Modems
In either interface, the user can reset modems, set modems in or out of service, and configure modems.
When the user selects the hot link for an operation, a form appears in which the user can enter in list
format (e.g., 1A:3C,15B) the modems that are to have the desired operation performed on them. The
operation is performed when the user selects the action button (e.g., Config if the user is configuring
modems).
Web Interface Limitations
The Web interface does not provide a full management interface. Full management is provided by our
MultiModemManager software, or through the use of a third party SNMP manager. However, once the
system is set up, most management can be done using the Web browser interface.
FTP Interface
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard Internet protocol that allows the transfer of files between two
systems connected to a TCP/IP network, such as the Internet. The MR9600-100 acts as an FTP server so
that FTP clients can send and receive files to and from it.
You need FTP to transfer configuration files (*.cfg) to and from your system. If you plan to use
MultiModemManager security, you need FTP to transfer security files (*.db) to and from your system. If
you wish to analyze event information, you also need FTP to transfer event files (*.hr) from the MR9600-
100 to a management computer where you can run the Statistical Analyzer on them.
Note: When logging in, you must use the Supervisor user name and password.
