Visual Manager Access

Visual Manager (VM) can be accessed from any standard Web browser:

1. Connect a 10/100BaseT Ethernet cable to the back of the router.

2. Apply power to the connected SCSI and/or Fibre Channel devices.

3. Apply power to the host computer.

4. Enter the router IP address in the address field of the Web browser of the host

computer.

Note:

To access VM, the router must be assigned a valid IP address. The factory default

setting for the IP address allows access on a local area network only. If the factory default
for the IP address is already used by another device on the local network, the IP address
must be changed.

The factory default for the IP address is

http://1.1.1.1/

Note:

If the IP address of the router is not known or needs to be changed, connect to the

router using a serial connection. The current router IP address is displayed and can be
changed in the serial Ethernet Configuration Menu.

The Visual Manager home page is displayed, showing router status
information. The home page is accessible to anyone who knows the router IP
address.

5. Select the desired menu option to access menus and screens.

The Password dialog box is displayed. See

Figure 7

for an example of the

Password Dialog box.
