ABOUT WEBVIEW

Enterasys Networks' embedded Web server, WebView, provides World Wide Web (WWW)
browser access to Enterasys hardware. The server is built into the Matrix E1 firmware and
provides basic management and simple configuration for the device. With this tool, managers are
able to manage WebView-compliant hardware from any Web-accessible location. WebView
provides network managers with a convenient way to perform basic configuration, maintenance
and troubleshooting through the WWW interface. Access to Local Management via WebView is as
simple as opening a URL in a web browser to the IP address of the Matrix E1 device. WebView
supports Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer with JDK 1.1 support.
