CHAPTER

Using the Web Manager
Two types of administrative users can access all the Web Manager functions:
• An administrator who knows the password for the admin account, which is configured
by default
• An optionally added administrative user (a regular user whose account is in the admin group)
Administrative users, like regular users, can access the Web Manager from a browser using HTTP
or HTTPS either over the Internet or through a dial
-in or callback PPP connection. Also like regular
users, administrative users can use default menu options that appear on the first Web Manager
screen after login to access devices, manage power and to change their own passwords.
In addition to being able to perform all the tasks regular authorized users can perform,
administrative users can use the Web Manager for configuring users, devices and other MergePoint
5224/5240 SP manager features that enable the enforcement of the organization’s security policies.
Only one administrative user can connect to the Web Manager at a time. A prompt appears if
another administrative user is currently logged in with the option to either cancel the login attempt
or to log out the currently logged
-in administrative user.
NOTE: For security, a login session times out after a defined period of inactivity. An administrator can change
the time-out value as described in Changing Web Manager Time-outs on page 131.
To log into the Web Manager as an administrative user:
This procedure assumes you know the password for the admin account or the username and
password for an administrative user account and that you have either a network connection or a
dial
-in connection over a phone line.
1. Enter the IP address of the SP manager in a supported browser. The Web Manager login
screen appears.
2. Enter the username and password.
3. Click the Login button.
NOTE: All procedures in this chapter assume you are logged into the Web Manager as an administrative user.
