Appendix G-Configuring Direct Connections to RMX
G-2
The administrator’s Login name, Password, viewing and system
permissions on the Alternate Management Network are the same as those on
the Management Network.
Once logged in, the RMX Web Client behaves as if the administrator had
logged in on the Management Network.
Connection to the Alternate Management Network bypasses LAN and Firewall
security. Strict control of access to LAN 3 port is recommended.
The Alternate Management Network network is only available if Network
Separation has not been performed. For more information, see "Network
Separation” on page 12-38.
Configuring the Workstation
The following procedures show how to modify the workstation’s
networking parameters using the Windows New Connection Wizard.
For non-Windows operating systems an equivalent procedure must be
performed by the system administrator.
Before connecting directly, you must modify the IP Address, Subnet Mask
and Default Gateway settings of the workstation to be compatible with
either the RMX’s Default Management Network or Alternate Management
Network.
To modify the workstation’s IP addresses:
1 On the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Network
Connections.
2 In the Network Connections window, double-click the Local Area
Connection that has Connected status.
