General tasks performed through the Web server interface are very similar in form

and function to tasks performed through the HAFM and Element Manager;

therefore, they are not documented in this publication. For task information and

descriptions, open the online user documentation (Help selection) that supports

the interface.

This publication provides instructions for director fault isolation using the

Embedded Web Server interface. See “Diagnostics” on page 35 for the fault

isolation tasks.
