Cyclades Web Manager
Administrators perform most tasks through the Cyclades Web Manager. The
Web Manager runs in a browser and provides a real-time view of all the
equipment that is connected to the KVM/net. The administrator or the regular
user who has administrative access can use the Web Manager to configure
users and ports, troubleshoot, maintain, cycle power, and reboot the connected
devices, either while on site or from a remote location. KVM/net also allows
regular users and administrators to use the Web Manager to access devices
that are connected to KVM ports.
On-Screen
Display
The On Screen Display (OSD) can be used locally from a keyboard,
monitor and mouse that is directly connected to the KVM/net. When
the monitor and the KVM/net are on, the OSD login screen appears on
the monitor.
• See “To Connect to the User 1 Management Port” on page 83 for
instructions on how to make the hardware connection.
• See “On Screen Display” on page 351 for how KVM/net
administrators and regular users can use the OSD.
Linux
Commands
and KVM/net-
specific
Commands
The KVM/net offers the following types of access allowing
administrators to log in and enter Linux commands and KVM/net-
specific commands in a shell running on the KVM/net.
• A local administrator who has a direct connection to the console
port on the KVM/net, who is running a terminal or terminal
emulation program, and who knows the root password. The direct
login requires authentication using the root password. The default
shell defined for the root user is bash.
• A remote administrator who uses telnet or ssh to connect to the
KVM/net and log in as root.
See “To Connect to the Console Port” on page 82 and “Configuring
Basic Networking Using the wiz Command” on page 85.
