Accessing the web interface
You can connect to the WhatsUp Gold web interface from any supported browser by
entering the WhatsUp Gold web address. This web address consists of the hostname of the
WhatsUp Gold host and the web server port number.
For example, if your WhatsUp Gold host is named monitor1.ipswitch.com, and it is
connected to default port 80 then the web address is:
http://monitor1.ipswitch.com
- or -
http://monitor1.ipswitch.com:80
Note: When you use the default web server port (80), you do not have to include the port in
the address, but all other ports require the port number following the url.
There are two default users on the Web server:
Account type Username Password
Administrator admin admin
Guest guest
Note: Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is used for the WhatsUp Gold web server.
For more information, see the Configuring the web server section of the Installing and
Configuring WhatsUp Gold (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wugiis_15) guide.
