Web Interface
The RIPM may be accessed using a standard Java
-enabled web browser. You
may use the HTTP protocol or a secure encrypted connection via HTTPS. Just
enter the configured IP address of the RIPM into your web browser. The initial login
settings are:
Parameter Value
Login administrator
Password belkin
Changing these settings to user-specific values is strongly recommended and can
be done on the “User Management” page.
Telnet
A standard Telnet client can be used to access an arbitrary device connected to
the RIPM serial port via a terminal mode.
The primary interface of the RIPM is the HTTP interface. In order to use the
Remote Console window of your managed host system, the browser has to come
with a Java Runtime Environment version 1.1 or higher. If the browser has no Java
support (such as on a small handheld device), you are still able to maintain your
remote host system using the administration forms displayed by the browser itself.
For an unsecured connection to the RIPM, we can recommend the following web
browsers:
• Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher on Windows 2000 and XP
• Netscape Navigator 7.0 on Windows 2000 and XP
In order to access the remote host system using a securely encrypted connection,
you need a browser that supports the HTTPS protocol. Strong security is only
ensured by using a 128-bit key length.
