Starting a Web Browser Management Session

This section explains how to start a web browser management session.

To start a web browser management session with the AT-S60 software,
there must be at least one AT-8400 Series switch on your network that
has been assigned an IP address. The switch with the IP address is
referred to as the master switch. Once you have started a web browser
management session on the master switch, you have management
access to all other AT-8400 and AT-8000 Series Switches that reside in
the same subnet.

Note

For optimal viewing of an AT-S60 Web Browser management
session on your PC, Allied Telesyn recommends setting the screen
resolution to 1024 x 768 pixels.

There are a total of 14 login sessions available using the console, Telnet,
and web browser management sessions. However, you can have only
one Manager session on the switch regardless of how you or others are
accessing the switch. There are additional limitations for the different
types of management sessions. The console and Telnet sessions allow a
total of 10 active sessions, while a web browser management session
allows four active login sessions.

To start a web browser management session, perform the following
procedure:

1. Start your web browser.

Note

If your PC (where the web browser resides) is connected directly to
the switch or is on the same side of a firewall as the switch, you must
configure your browser’s network options to not use proxies.
Consult your web browser’s documentation on how to configure
the switch’s web browser to not use proxies.
