Product Management ■ Monitor port status, port statistics, and the active zone set, and display the event log and node list. ■ Perform product firmware upgrades and port diagnostics, reset ports, enable port beaconing, and set the product online or offline. The EWS interface can be opened from a standard Web browser running Netscape Navigator 4.6 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. At the browser, enter the IP address of the product as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, enter a user name and password. The default administrator-level user name is Administrator. The default operator-level user name is Operator. The default password for both is password. When the interface opens, the default display is the View panel (Figure 20 on page 55). The View panel for the Director 2/64 is shown as an example. Figure 20: View Panel (Embedded Web Server interface) Task selection tabs display at the top of the panel, a graphical representation of product hardware (front and rear) displays at the right side of the panel, and menu selections (View, Configure, Monitor, Operations, and Help) display at the left side of the panel. The task selection tabs allow users to perform director or switch-specific tasks. SAN High Availability Planning Guide 55
