This section covers conguration of the AdderLink Innity Manager Suite for administrators.
For details about the regular user interface, please see the Operation section.
SUPPORTED BROWSERS
The A.I.M. admin interface requires an A-grade browser with Javascript enabled.
The list of supported browsers is as follows:
• Google Chrome
• Firefox
• Internet Explorer
• Safari
LOGIN FOR ADMIN USERS
1 Ensure that the A.I.M. server is powered on (allow 3 minutes before accessing).
2 Using a computer located anywhere within the local network open a web browser
(see Supported browsers list opposite) and enter the default IP address for the A.I.M.
server: 169.254.1.3
The Login page will be displayed:
3 Enter your Username and Password and click the Login button.
The default username is admin and the default password is password.
You are strongly recommended to change the default admin password as one of your
rst actions: Go to Dashboard>Users. Click on the furthest right icon in the admin row
(congure users) and change the password for the admin user.
If you check the Remember Me box, a cookie will be stored on the computer,
allowing you to access the admin section without having to log in each time. The
cookie will survive for up to the AIM Admin Timeout period. If you do not check the
Remember Me box, you will remain logged in only for the duration of your browser
session.
IMPORTANT
When you log in for the rst time on an A.I.M. server (rmware v4.0 or above) you need
to specify a role before being able to congure the server. There are two options:
• Solo - There is only ever going to be one A.I.M. server on the network (with no
redundancy and failover), or
• Primary - The server is going to be used in a network with a redundant cluster of
A.I.M. servers and will be the main server used to manage the ALIF units.
If there is already a primary server on the network when the A.I.M. powers up, it will
detect this and congure itself as a backup server automatically. After selecting the role
you can then congure the server as you wish.
You will next be presented with the Settings page where you will need to change A.I.M.
server’s default IP address to one that suits your existing network conguration.
You will NOT be able to perform any other actions or navigate to any other pages within
the A.I.M. admin interface until you have changed A.I.M.’s IP address.
To change the IP address, type in a new IP address in the relevant eld (you should also
change the gateway/netmask details for your network).
When you click Save, after a delay the web browser will automatically redirect itself to
the new IP address so that you can continue administering A.I.M.
Note: Ensure that your access computer can view the new IP address, otherwise A.I.M. will
appear to be ofine. Depending on your network conguration and that of the access computer,
you may need to change the access computer’s conguration to be able to see A.I.M.’s new
network address.
You will then be asked to login again and will have full access to all of A.I.M.’s pages.
Note: If an existing A.I.M. server must be replaced, follow the important advice given within
Appendix C (Swapping out an A.I.M. server).
Conguration
Note: For best results always use the
latest versions of the supported browsers.
IMPORTANT:The IP Address and net mask of Ethernet Port 1 must NOT
be changed during operation of the system. Changing these will invalidate
the system’s security and require intervention from the Adder technical
support staff to restore to a working state.
