Allowed remote host IPs:
The WebMux management console and diagnose login only allow logins from
these IP addresses to establish a management session. You can access from
more than one IP address by specifying all the allowed IP addresses separated
by a ":". Netmask following the IP address specify the range of hosts can access
management console. For example, 192.168.12.0/24 will allow all hosts in
192.168.12 network to access it. If this field is left blank, you can access the
management software from any IP address. It is recommended to set this up for
security reasons. When wrong IP address entered, management console login
will not be possible. Use push button on WebMux to clear the allowed host list.
This field is blank by default.
Dialout prefix:
Some phone systems require a prefix for outside phone numbers. If a prefix is
required, enter it here. Leave it blank if a prefix is not required. For most Analog
PBX, this will be “9”. Do not enter anything in here, if modem is not connected.
Pager phone numbers:
This is the pager phone number to be dialed when an abnormal condition occurs.
Enter the number without any of the special characters or spaces. It should be in
the format of a single long integer. Add 1 and the area code if needed. Do not
use "()" or "-" or blank spaces. Do not enter anything in here, if modem is not
connected.
Server for email notification:
In addition to paging, the WebMux can send email notifications. Enter the IP
address of the email server that will forward the notifications. Please note:
Because the WebMux does not resolve names, this entry must be an IP address.
Changes to the email server allowing WebMux relaying messages is necessary.
Addresses for email notification:
Enter the email addresses to be notified. Separate multiple addresses with a
colon. For example: [e-mail]:[e-mail]
Server gateway IP address:
The WebMux appears to all the servers in the farms as a gateway or router. This
is the IP address for WebMux assuming the router role for the servers. This
address should be the gateway IP address in the web (or other) servers. It is
highly recommend adding it to the /etc/hosts file on your servers.
Please note: For first time setup, it is very important to set up this address and the Server Farm
network mask (below) first. Also when setting up the servers, you may be asked to fill in the
default gateway IP address for the server. Use this IP address to setup all the servers under it.
The WebMux will not function properly if this IP address is not set correctly for both WebMux and
the servers.
