Using IWS
The VBrick WM Appliance has an Integrated Web Server (referred to throughout this
document as IWS) that lets you manage VBrick configuration from an external browser. This
allows network managers to remotely configure and monitor the appliances from virtually
anywhere. Currently, only Microsoft Internet Explorer is supported. Other browsers (for
example Netscape) may not give acceptable results. VBrick recommends using Internet
Explorer 6.0 or higher. You connect to IWS by pointing to the IP Address (for example:
http://192.168.5.5.) of the VBrick appliance and logging in. (Note that passwords passed
between client and server are encrypted.) IWS is one of several ways you can manage the
VBrick encoder (you can also use VBDirectory or the Command Line Interface
Interface)
but it is the most intuitive and easiest to use.
To login to a VB6000 Series VBrick with Microsoft Internet Explorer, you must have
Session Cookies and Active Scripting enabled. Depending on your browser version, these
settings are in the
Security or Privacy tabs in Internet Options. If either option is disabled, a
correct username and password will refresh the screen without login. If Active Scripting
cannot be enabled, check with your system administrator to see if it was disabled at the server
level. To avoid having the IWS window closed when accessing a different VBrick, go to Tools
> Internet Options > Advanced and uncheck the
Reuse windows for launching shortcuts.
