Mitel SME Server V5 with ServiceLink Network Card User Manual


 
Chapter 7. The Server Console
When installation is complete and if you set server console mode to "auto", the opening screen of the SME Server V5 with
ServiceLink server console will appear:
If you set the server console mode to "login", you will be given a login prompt. After you enter the user name "admin" and your
system password, you will see the server console screen above.
Note: Any time that you login to your system as the "admin" user you will see the server console. This is true even when
connecting to the server remotely using a tool such as ssh (discussed later in the chapter on Remote Access).
The server console provides you with basic, direct access to your server. From the server console you can get the following
information and perform the following tasks:
Option 1: Provides you with uptime information about your server.
Option 2: Allows you to view and modify the configuration information you entered during the original installation (ethernet cards,
IP address information, DHCP, DNS, domain names, etc.)
Option 3: Provides you with a summary of the configuration parameters entered into your server.
Option 4: Allows you to test your Internet access by sending a small test packet of information to a server on the Internet (located at
Mitel Networks Corporation) which will confirm that your server is communicating on the Internet.
Option 5: Allows you to smoothly reboot or shut down your server.
Option 6: Provides you with a means to access the web-based server manager using a text-based browser. This is the same interface
to which you can connect from another system using a normal graphical browser. This option merely allows you to perform these
functions directly from the server console.
Option 7: Connects to http://www.e-smith.org/docs/manual/ to allow you to read the online version of this manual.
Option 8: Displays the GNU General Public License (the license governing the distribution and use of SME Server V5 with
ServiceLink software) and information on how to contact Mitel Networks Corporation for support.
