Working With The GUI Environment
Working With The GUI Environment
Overview This section describes:
• the login screen and how to log into the VOCAL system
• the user configuration screen and available the buttons, options boxes,
and data fields.
Before you begin The machine that was used to install the VOCAL system is known as the
provisioning host. You can access the Provisioning Server from the
provisioning host, or from any other PC that is connected to the network
where the VOCAL system resides.
Before you can work with the Provisioning GUI, you must have the following:
• A web browser loaded on your machine. The browser can be any type
that takes a Java Run-time Environment (JRE) plug-in version 1.3.1_01.
• Access to the Internet to download the Java plug-in. All networking
requirements are covered in the VOCAL Installation Guide.
You must also know the host name of your provisioning host and the system
name that was entered during the software installation. This information is
used to access the web page that contains the links to the GUI system
utilities. This web address can be expressed as:
http://<provisioning host name>/vocal/index.html.
Note
An example of this web address could be:
http://local_host/vocal/index.html
Accessing the GUI To access the Provisioning GUI, go to:
http://<provisioning host name>/vocal/index.html
and select Provision System.
The first Provisioning screen calls a Java plug-in. The plug-in is not shipped
with the software, it must be downloaded from the Internet. Normally, this
plug-in would have been downloaded to the provisioning host during the
software installation process.
However, if you are accessing the system from another machine besides the
provisioning host, a download prompt appears when the screen is first
loaded. Accept the download file and load the plug-in onto your machine.
Once the plug-in has been loaded the Provisioning Login screen appears as
shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-3
