Configuring the M Series Platform Using the Web-based Interface
Step 1 : Connect your computer with the network cable to any Ethernet MGMT port of the NMU module.
Step 2 : Get the NMS software from the CD of chassis accessories or download the file “NMS software” online, and then install it.

Step 3 : Double Click the “NMS Server” icon on the desktop and the dialogue box of license validation will pop up. Enter the license key(included in the CD) to finish validation. (If you can’t find the license key, please contact FS sales manager for help.)

Step 4 : Then the NMS server interface pops up. Double click “Start NMS Server” to run the server, when it prompts “Please connect your client to the webserver on port: 9090”, it means that you have successfully started the NMS server. And then you can close the NMS Server window, the server is still running in the background.

Step 5 : Open a browser window. (Recommend 1E11.0 and above version or Google Chrome browser). (1) If you log in from the local NMS host, enter localhost:9090 in the address bar to open the login interface. (2) If you log in from another remote host, enter the server IP address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:9090 (IP address of NMS server) to open the login interface.

Step 6 : Enter correct user name and password (For the administrator, the default login user name is “root”, and the default password is “public”), as shown in the figure below:
