The CommNet Browser as a Remote Web-Based Application allows you to administer the system from a Java-enabled web browser. During the installation of the CommNet Server, you will be prompted to configure web administration if Internet Information Service (IIS) is installed and running on the computer.
If the CommNet Server computer does not have IIS installed and running, you can use another computer with IIS in your domain to set up web administration, allowing the CommNet Browser to be run remotely from a Java-enabled web browser. Once the setup is complete, you should be able to enter the IIS server name and alias (e.g., http://server1/Monitor) into a web browser to start the web-based CommNet Browser.
For example, you have a CommNet Server called green. Green does not have IIS installed, however, another computer in your network, blue, already has IIS installed and running. To configure the web-based CommNet Browser to run using blue as the IIS server, you create a virtual directory called Monitor on blue that points to green\<Software Install Path>. The web alias is the virtual directory name, Monitor. Once this is complete, you can start the web-based CommNet Browser by entering http://blue/Monitor into your web browser.
You can remotely administer a CommCell by opening the CommCell Console from the CommNet Browser.
Note that when the CommNet Browser is opened as a remote web-based application, the CommCell Console is also opened as a remote web-based application. If the CommNet Browser is opened as an application, the user is provided with the option to open the CommCell Console either as an application (if the CommCell Console is appropriately installed in the target CommCell) or as a remote web-based application.
