4: Web Browser Access

The SecureLinx Spider controls a target computer by redirecting its human interface
peripherals of keyboard, mouse, and video screen to one or more other (client)
computers. The Spider achieves this by serving up web pages and launching a Java
applet across the network connection to the client using standard protocols (such as IP,
TCP, and HTTP/HTTPS). The Java applet window running on the client system appears
as a copy of the target computer's screen. This replica is the Remote Console (or
Remote Console).
Note: The Spider supports browsers such as Internet Explorer 6.0+, Netscape
5.0+, FireFox 1.0+, and Safari 2.0+.
When using the Spider View application on Windows, refer to the
Guide. This section refers to the Spider connection via a web browser.
1. Access the Spider over the network using a web browser by entering:
https:// (for a secure SSL connection) or http:// (for an insecure connection)
and its IP address in the address bar. The browser must accept cookies for login.
2. Enter your user name (default is sysadmin) and password (default is PASS) at the
prompt. The Spider home page displays.
After passing authentication, the Spider opens the home page, from which the Remote
Console or Telnet Console may be launched. The home page contains a snapshot of the
target system's video in the Remote Console Preview window, various pieces of
information in the Session Info box, and a menu bar along the left side. The top frame,
visible on all pages, includes a Logout button.
