Node menu
Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Web Interface Manual 3
Overview
The Web Management Interface provides a comprehensive suite of functions (configuration
management, fault monitoring, diagnostics, and performance monitoring) for managing Vpacket
edge network systems in converged broadband networks. It allows management of the 6100 VDR
using a Web browser. The Web management interface provides an alternative method for device
management compared to the SNMP-based Vpacket Network Management System (VNMS) and
CLI (console and telnet).
The Web interface consists of seven main menus with selectable options and a Logout button:
•Node
•Alarm
•Settings
• Monitor
• Utility
• Voice QoS
• Log out
•Help
Node menu
The node menu is for viewing and managing the configuration of the 6100 VDR.
The following options reside within the node menu:
•status (lets you view the system configuration)
•import (allows image and configuration file upload from an external file server)
•export (allows binary image and configuration file exchange between the VDR and an
external file server)
•save settings (saves the system configuration information in the main memory to the
configuration file)
•reboot (power-cycles the VDR)

CHAPTER 1
About the web interface
4Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Web Interface Manual
Alarm menu
The alarm menu is for managing system alarms.
The alarm options are:
•display (lists the latest system events in the VDR)
•control (controls sending SNMP traps from the VDR to external destinations)
Settings menu
The settings menu allows you to display and set the VDR configuration.
The settings options are:
•wan (manages the WAN interface)
•lan (manages the LAN interface)
•system (configures the descriptive information displayed in the System Status window)
•voice (manages the voice services)
•dhcp (configures the VDR as a DHCP client or server)
•nat (enables or disables the Network Address Translation function and manages port
mapping)
•ntp (enables the use of the Network Timing Protocol and the configuration of its parameters)
•route (displays the IP Routing Table and provides a means for managing static IP route
entries in the IP Routing table)
•rip (enables or disables the RIP routing feature)

Monitor menu
Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Web Interface Manual 5
Monitor menu
The monitor menu allows you to view the IP Routing Table information.
The monitor option is ip route, which displays the IP Routing Table.
Utility menu
The utility menu allows you to access system-level tools.
The utility options are:
•ping and trace route (at this time, accessed through the CLI)
•user management (provides access to the user table to create and control users)
•acl (allows the use and management of access control lists)
Voice QoS menu
Voice QoS menu allows you to remotely monitor and test the quality of voice services from the
6100 VDR.
The voice QoS options are:
•monitor control (a VQS feature that enables or disables voice quality monitoring on the
6100 VDR)
•monitor result (a VQS feature that displays Voice QoS monitoring results)

CHAPTER 1
About the web interface

•test control (a VQM feature that allows testing a specific destination number offline, in an
accurate manner)
•test result (a VQM feature that allows you to view the results of a voice quality test)
Logout command
The logout selection is a command that terminates the current session and returns you to the
logon screen. You must confirm this action (Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1. Logout confirmation dialog
Help menu
The help menu allows you to access information about this application and an online help system.
The help options are:
•about (displays information about the software release and copyright)
•guide (points your browser to the Vpacket web site)

Accessing the Web Interface for the first time
Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Web Interface Manual 7
Accessing the Web Interface for the first time
To access the web interface for the first time, first you need to connect the VDR to a LAN (See
“Chapter 3 Port connections” in the Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Installer’s Guide for details). After
making the physical connections, you can follow these steps.
To launch the web interface for the first time
1. Open a web browser of your choice.
Figure 1-2. Browser window
2. Enter the default Ethernet IP address: http://192.168.0.254 and then Enter.
Figure 1-3. Logging on
3. Log on by entering the default user name: admin (or your previously configured user name)
4. Enter the default password: admin (or your previously configured password)

CHAPTER 1
About the web interface
8Vpacket 5100/6100 Series Web Interface Manual
Launching the Web Interface
You can launch the Web Management Interface, which is directly embedded in the 6100 VDR, by
following these steps. Figure 1-4 shows the Web Management Interface logon window.
To launch the Web interface
1. Launch your Web browser.
2. Point your browser to the IP address of the VDR by entering HTTP://<IP address of your
VDR>. (for example, 192.168.0.254 or your WAN IP address)
3. When the login window appears, enter your login name and then Tab.
4. Enter your password and Tab.
5. Press Enter. Initially, there are two users: admin/admin with root privileges and user/user
with read privileges.
