Accessing the System During Initial Configuration
When configuring the system for the first time, you can use a web browser to
perform most tasks. See Chapter 4, “Completing the Cisco ICS 7750 Installation,”
for system installation and configuration instructions.
Accessing the System After Initial Configuration
After system installation and configuration, you have many ways to access the
system:
• Cisco browser-based software interfaces:
– ICSConfig—The Cisco ICS System Manager initial configuration
program (ICSConfig) enables you to specify key system parameters
during initial configuration and to change those parameters at any time
after initial configuration. For additional information, see the “Accessing
ICSConfig” section on page 5-4.
– ICS System Manager—ICS System Manager is preinstalled on the
Cisco System Processing Engine 310 (SPE310) running System
Manager, in chassis slot 6. You can use ICS System Manager to access,
configure, monitor, and manage the chassis, its cards, and the
interconnected Catalyst switches. For additional information, see the
“Accessing ICS System Manager” section on page 5-4.
– Cisco CallManager—You can install Cisco CallManager on SPE310s
and use the software to configure call admission control, route plans,
voice gateways (typically multiservice route processors [MRPs] or
analog station interfaces [ASIs]), Cisco IP Phones, and other features
