Introduction

This chapter describes the basic layout and menus of AnyLink WebAdmin.

1. Getting Started

AnyLink WebAdmin is a user application that allows a user to manage AnyLink through a web browser. A variety of settings for AnyLink can be monitored and managed in real time.

After installing AnyLink WebAdmin through the installer, start WebAdmin.

  1. Type the following WebAdmin URL in a web browser. Use the HTTP port configured in the Domain Admin server. (e.g. 8808)

    http://{Server_IP_Address:Port_Number}/anylink-admin
  2. If WebAdmin is successfully accessed, the following initial Login screen appears.

    Enter the user ID and password, and then click [Log In]. The user ID and password are initially set as 'admin' and 'admin'.
