Main Help Topics

You use the Web Server Setup page to enable browsing to the web-based management system, specify the location of the Help files, and enter settings for a custom-tailored web system for management.

Settings

The Default Help Root URL specifies the location of the help files. All other setting and entries would only be used in applications with custom-tailored web systems for control of devices.

Allow Non-Console Browsing?

Select yes to allow browsing to the management system. If you select no, the management system is accessible only through the console and Telnet interfaces.

HTTP Port

This setting determines the port through which your device provides web access. Use the port setting provided by your System Administrator.

Default Help Root URL

This entry tells the device where to look for help files. The Help button on each management system page opens a new browser window displaying help for that page. The online help files are provided on the CD in the Help directory.

You can point to the help files in one of four possible locations:

• Internet -- Cisco maintains up-to-date help for device on the Cisco web site. While this location requires online access for every occasion of needing online help, it offers the most up-to-date information. If you use this help location, which is the default setting, you don't need to copy the files from the CD.
• File Server -- On multi-user networks, the help files can be placed on the network file server. For this location, enter the full directory URL in the Default Help Root URL entry field. Your entry might look like this:
  [system name]\[directory]\c:\wireless\help
• CD-ROM drive -- For occasional access, the CD can be left in the CD-ROM drive on the computer you use to manage the wireless LAN. For this location, enter the drive letter and path in the Default Help Root URL entry field. Your entry should look like this:
  file: ///[CD-ROM Drive Letter]:\Cisco\Help
• Hard Drive -- You can copy the help files to the hard drive of the computer you use to manage the wireless LAN. If you use this location, enter the full directory URL. Your entry might look like this:
  file: ///[Drive letter]:\[folder or subdirectory]\wireless\help

Extra Web Page File

If you need to create an alternative to the management system, you can create HTML pages and load them into the device. You use this entry field to specify the filename for your HTML page stored on the file server.

Click Load Now to load the HTML page.

Default Web Root URL

This setting points to the management system's HTML pages. If you create alternative HTML pages, change this setting to point to the alternative pages. The default setting is:
