The Manager/One Interface
Manager/One is an easy-to-use graphical interface to your Access/One Network,
residing on all modules within the network. Manager/One provides you with the
tools you need to ensure that your network is functioning efficiently and effectively,
and allows you to configure the network to suit your individual needs.
The visual aids contained in this chapter will help you to become more familiar with
the content and structure of Manager/One and your Access/One Network. Detailed
explanations and sample screens are provided for all management functions,
regardless of your network’s configuration.
The Manager/One interface is accessed from your Web browser, or by using the IP
address of any network server as a URL within Internet Explorer (version 6.0 and
above). The first time you launch Manager/One, the system prompts you to name
your Access/One Network—you cannot use the factory default name. Only after
assigning a network name can you begin to manage the network.
The Manager/One Plug-In
The presence of our Manager/One icon (Strix Wings) in your browser’s taskbar
indicates that the Manager/One plug-in for Internet Explorer is installed. The plug-in
provides convenient tools for communicating with your Access/One Network
components (ping, Telnet and paging). If you don’t already have the plug-in
installed, go to “Installing the Manager/One Plug-In” on page 27 and install it now.
