Starting an Omega Session from a Web Browser
This section contains the procedure for starting an Omega session from
a web browser.
Note
You cannot use a web browser to manage an AT-9006 switch if the
switch is part of a non-TCP/IP network.
Before you can manage the switch in a TCP/IP environment with a web
browser, the switch must have an IP address and subnet mask. Initially,
these two parameters can only be set through the RS232 port on the
switch and a local Omega session. For instructions on establishing a local
management session, refer to Starting a Local Omega Session Using
the RS232 Port on page 23 for instructions.
To start an Omega session from a web browser, perform the following
procedure:
1. Start your web browser.
Note
If the PC with the browser 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 not to use any proxies. Consult your web
browser’s documentation on how to configure the browser not to
use proxies.
2. Enter the IP address of the switch you want to manage in the URL field
of the browser, as shown in Figure 2:
