Configuration

This section covers configuration of the AdderLink Infinity Manager Suite for
administrators. For details about the regular user interface, please see the
Operation section.

Supported browsers

The AIM admin interface requires an A-grade browser with Javascript enabled.
The list of appropriate browsers is as follows:
• Google Chrome v7 or greater
• Firefox v3.5 or greater
• Internet Explorer v8 or greater (IE6 is not supported)
• Safari v5 or greater
Google Chrome is the preferred browser because it is faster than Firefox or
Internet Explorer.
IMPORTANT
The first time you log in as an admin user to a new AIM unit, you will be
presented with the Settings page where you will need to change AIM'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 AIM admin interface until you have changed AIM'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 AIM.
Note: Ensure that your access computer can view the new IP address, otherwise
AIM 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 AIM's new network address.
You will then be asked to login again and will have full access to all of AIM's
pages.

Login for admin users

1 Ensure that the AIM server is powered on (allow 3 minutes before accessing).
2 Using a computer located anywhere within the local network open a web
browser (see Supported browsers list opposite) and enter the default IP
address for the AIM server: 169.254.1.3
The Login page will be displayed:
3 Enter your Username and Password and click the Login button.
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 expires 2 days after your last use of the system. If you
do not check the Remember Me box, you will remain logged in only for the
duration of your browser session.
