Accessing the system

The system can accessed for administration directly on the hardware platform or over the LAN. Users who perform UNIX administration functions must be a member of the sysadmin group (group 14) or have root-level permissions.

Accessing the system with a direct connection

With a monitor, keyboard, and mouse connected to the hardware platform, you can directly access the system. Typically the command-line interface is already available (as a UNIX prompt), and you can use administration commands after you log in to the system.

To use the Web Administration interface:

1. Run the Netscape browser from the UNIX prompt.

To do so, type /usr/dt/bin/netscape and press Enter. (This command may have changed. See "Getting Started With Netscape Communicator" in the latest version of Sun Blade 150 Getting Started.)

2. Type the URL of the system in the address window and press Enter.

The browser displays the Web Administration entry screen.

3. Select Web Administration from the menu.

The browser displays the Login screen.

4. Log in to the system.

Accessing the system with a LAN connection

To use the Web Administration interface:

1. Run a supported browser from a computer that is connected to the LAN.
2. Follow Steps 2 through 4 in "Accessing the system with a direct connection" above.

To use the command-line interface:

1. Start a terminal session, using a terminal or terminal emulator.
2. Log in to the system.
