You can access an iControl Application Server from a Windows or Linux workstation by using a
Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, or 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.
