8 Introduction
Introduction
You may manage the Model 6511RC Matrix Switch by using its internal HTTP/HTML Web Management
windows. However, to access the HTTP/HTML windows, you must first define:
•The 6511RC system’s LAN IP method to obtain address
•LAN IP address
•LAN IP subnet mask for the 6511RC
If you have not defined the above parameters, refer to the procedures in the Getting Started Guide that came
with your 6511RC
Logging into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows
To log into the HTTP/HTML Web Management windows, you must enter the 4-octet Internet Protocol (IP)
address (for example, http://your.server.ip.address ) as the Universal Resource Locator (URL) into a World-Wide
Web (WWW) browser. After you enter the IP address, the 6511RC will ask for your user name and password
as shown in figure 1.
Figure 1. 6511RC login window
Your 6511RC will accept the following default administrative username: superuser
Your 6511RC will accept the following default administrative passwords:
• superuser —this password carries full permission to change and view any parameters in the 6511RC
• monitor —this password allows full viewing of any non-password oriented variables.
Note
For security reasons, we recommend that you change these passwords
immediately after initial configuration.

HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format 9
Model 6511RC Matrix Switch Administrators’ Reference Guide 1 • Introduction
HTTP/HTML and SNMP Object Format
In this document, we shall describe the variables found on each of the internal HTTP/HTML windows. This
description will include brief definitions of the Patton Enterprise MIB or SNMP MIB II object identifiers
wherever applicable. The format of the variables will resemble figure 2.
Figure 2. HTTP/HTML and SNMP object format
Saving HTTP/HTML Object Changes
Sometimes you will need to save changes that you have made in the HTTP/HTML windows. Do the follow-
ing to make changes to read/write variables:
1. Select the appropriate Modify screen.
2. Make changes to the desired parameter.
3. Click on the Submit button.
4. Return to the HOME screen.
5. Click on the Record Current Configuration button.
Note Make sure you follow steps 1 through 5 when modifying the
HTTP/HTML windows. Otherwise, your changes will be lost when
the 6511RC is power-cycled.
