Configuring the Web GUI

The web-based GUI is used to configure a Cisco Edge 340 Series device and monitor the status of the Cisco Edge 340 Series locally or remotely.

To configure a Cisco Edge 340 Series device using the web-based GUI, follow the steps described in these sections:

Logging In to the Web GUI

There are two ways to access the Web GUI:

  • Access the web-based GUI at https://[ Cisco Edge 340’s IP address ] and log in to the web portal locally or remotely. A warning page is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-1. Click Proceed anyway to continue. Enter the username and password of the system account (Figure 2-2). The default username is admin, and the default password of the admin account is aDMIN123#.

Figure 2-1 Warning Page

 

  • Click Preference on desktop and log in by entering the username and password of system account (Figure 2-2). The default username is admin, and the default password of the admin account is aDMIN123#.

Note Change the default password immediately after you have successfully logged in to the system for the first time. You can also refer to the steps in the “Configuring Account Information” section to change the Web GUI login name.



Note When the password of web GUI admin is changed, the password of system ROOT user (OS admin user) is also changed. In fact, the web GUI admin account is exactly the ROOT user of the OS.

System Configuration

After you log in to the web GUI, the System configuration window is displayed. You can configure the basic system options, including hostname, auto-login, IR, Bluetooth, locale, grub screen message, volume indicator and so on. You can also view the device model number, related operating system version, and RPM version in this section.

Configuring Basic Information

You can configure the basic system options, such as hostname, auto-login, Bluetooth, and locale on the Basic tab. This page also shows the device model number, related operating system version, and RPM version (Figure 2-4).
