RingMaster Management Guide - Juniper Networks

Connecting a Client to RingMaster Services
RingMaster Services
If a firewall is enabled on the host where you install RingMaster Services, RingMaster Services will
not be able to communicate with RingMaster Clients or with MXs unless the firewall is configured to
allow through traffic for the SSL and SNMP ports (443 and 162 by default).
To connect to RingMaster Services:
1. Start RingMaster Client. Do one of the following:
❑ On Windows systems, select Start > Programs > Trapeze Networks > RingMaster >
RingMaster, or double-click the RingMaster icon on the desktop.
❑ On Linux systems, change directories to RingMaster_installation_directory/bin, and
enter ./ringmaster.
❑ On Macintosh systems, select Finder > Applications > RingMaster, or click the
RingMaster icon in the dock.
The RingMaster Services Connection dialog appears.
2. Enter the IP address or fully-qualified hostname of the server on which the service is installed
(if not pre-filled). If the service is installed on the same server as the one you are using to run
RingMaster, enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP address. This is a standard IP loopback address.
3. Specify the service port, if different from the port number in the Port selector list.
The port number used by RingMaster Services must not be used by another application on the
server where RingMaster Services is installed. If the port number is used by another application,
change the port number on RingMaster Services. (See Setup Tab.)
