Configuration Using the Web User Interface
The ES7506 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES7506 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES7506 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES7506. The CLI and Telnet are
discussed in
Configuration Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on Page 95.
• In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7506 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES7506 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES7506 provides HTTP web user interface (
Page 32 ) and secure HTTPS web
user interface ( Page 34 ) for web management.
