Chapter 4. Getting started with Remote Management Module

The Remote Management Module features an embedded web server and applications offering a variety of
standardized interfaces. This section describes both the interfaces and how to use them. The interfaces are
accessed using TCP/IP protocol.

Before you begin

For initial setup information, refer Chapter 4 “Getting started with Remote Management Module” on page 7.
Before you log in, you must enable the intended user. The examples in this chapter will use user “root”, but
other usernames and passwords could be used.

The Remote Management Module add-on card may be accessed using a standard Java enabled web
browser. You may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS.

Client browsers

In order to access the web console using a securely encrypted connection, you will need a browser that
supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only assured by using a Cipher Strength (encryption) of 128
- Bit. Some older browsers may not have a strong 128 Bit encryption algorithm.

If you are using Windows* Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, you can verify strong encryption by opening the
“Help / About” menu to read about the key length that is currently activated.

In order to use the Remote Console (KVM) window of your managed server, you must install the Java
Runtime Environment* (JRE*) version 1.6 or higher.

Note: The Web Console is designed for a screen size of 1280 pixels by 1024 pixels or larger. In smaller
screens, the browser will display slider controls to enable the user to see the full content of each web page.

Logging in

Step 1.

Enter the configured IP address of the Remote Management Module add-on card into your web
browser.

For example:
http://10.223.131.36/

To use a secure connection, type in as the following example:
https://10.223.131.36/

This will take you to the Remote Management Module module login page.

Step 2.

For example:

• Username = root

• Password = superuser

Note: The Username and Password are case sensitive. Any username and password could be
used (except anonymous).
