You can access an iControl Application Server from a Windows workstation by using a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Some tasks can be
accomplished on the Application Server via a Web interface. For other functionality, you can
download iControl client applications directly from the Application Server.
We recommend that you install the iControl Application Server on a dedicated LAN along with
the equipment it is intended to monitor, using the existing security infrastructure. A qualified
system administrator should verify that the setup follows your organization’s security
standards.
