Web Manager for All Users : Prerequisites for Using the Web Manager

Prerequisites for Using the Web Manager
This section describes the required browsers, preparation and browser plug-ins needed for different types of access.The prerequisites described in this section must be complete before anyone can access the Web Manager. If you have questions about any of the following prerequisites, contact your site’s system or network administrator.
The IP address of the OnBoard appliance must be known. Entering the IP address of the OnBoard appliance in the address field of one of the supported browsers listed in Table 3.1 is the first step required to access the Web Manager.
When DHCP is enabled, a device’s IP address may or may not be fixed. When the address is not fixed, anyone wanting to access the OnBoard appliance must find out the currently-assigned IP address each time. If DHCP is enabled and you do not know how to find out the current IP address of the OnBoard appliance, contact your system administrator for help.
A user account must be defined on the Web Manager. By default, the admin user has an account on the Web Manager. Any administrator can add regular user accounts to access connected devices using the Web Manager.
For accessing the Web Manager, you can use any type of workstation that has access to the network where the OnBoard service processor manager is installed and any browser (such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 6.0 or above, Mozilla or Firefox) with a Java 2 plug-in.
