Configuration
This section covers configuration of the AdderLink Infinity Manager Suite for administrators.
For details about the regular user interface, please see the
SUPPORTED BROWSERS
The A.I.M. admin interface requires an A-grade browser with Javascript enabled.
The list of supported browsers is as follows:
• Google Chrome
Note: For best results always use the
• Firefox
latest versions of the supported browsers.
• Internet Explorer
• Safari
IMPORTANT
When you log in for the first time on an A.I.M. server (firmware v4.0 or above) you need
to specify a role before being able to configure the server. There are two options:
• Solo - There is only ever going to be one A.I.M. server on the network (with no
redundancy and failover), or
• Primary - The server is going to be used in a network with a redundant cluster of
A.I.M. servers and will be the main server used to manage the ALIF units.
If there is already a primary server on the network when the A.I.M. powers up, it will
detect this and configure itself as a backup server automatically. After selecting the role
you can then configure the server as you wish.
You will next be presented with the Settings page where you will need to change A.I.M.
server's default IP address to one that suits your existing network configuration.
You will NOT be able to perform any other actions or navigate to any other pages within
the A.I.M. admin interface until you have changed A.I.M.'s IP address.
To change the IP address, type in a new IP address in the relevant field (you should also
change the gateway/netmask details for your network).
When you click Save, after a delay the web browser will automatically redirect itself to
the new IP address so that you can continue administering A.I.M.
Note: Ensure that your access computer can view the new IP address, otherwise A.I.M. will
appear to be offline. Depending on your network configuration and that of the access computer,
you may need to change the access computer's configuration to be able to see A.I.M.'s new
network address.
You will then be asked to login again and will have full access to all of A.I.M.'s pages.
Note: If an existing A.I.M. server must be replaced, follow the important advice given within
Appendix C (Swapping out an A.I.M.
server).
LOGIN FOR ADMIN USERS
Operation
section.
1 Ensure that the A.I.M. server is powered on (allow 3 minutes before accessing).
2 Using a computer located anywhere within the local network open a web browser
3 Enter your Username and Password and click the Login button.
(see Supported browsers list opposite) and enter the default IP address for the A.I.M.
server: 169.254.1.3
The Login page will be displayed:
The default username is admin and the default password is password.
You are strongly recommended to change the default admin password as one of your
first actions: Go to Dashboard>Users. Click on the furthest right icon in the admin row
(configure users) and change the password for the admin user.
If you check the Remember Me box, a cookie will be stored on the computer,
allowing you to access the admin section without having to log in each time. The
cookie will survive for up to the AIM Admin Timeout period. If you do not check the
Remember Me box, you will remain logged in only for the duration of your browser
session.
IMPORTANT: The IP Address and net mask of Ethernet Port 1 must NOT
be changed during operation of the system. Changing these will invalidate
the system's security and require intervention from the Adder technical
support staff to restore to a working state.
