Figure 10.4: Expert - Administration - Online Help
The console server administrator can either use the supplied online help or download the online
help .zip file and reconfigure the path to a local server where the online help can be stored and
accessed by the Web Manager. The console server firmware stores the new link in Flash and
accesses the online help files whenever the help button is clicked.
The Online Help Path field is where the path will be entered for the Web Manager to locate the
online help files. The Help button on the Web Manager looks for its help files in the location
specified here. By default, http://global.avocent.com/us/olh/acs/v_3.2.0 is the location specified in
the field. It is recommended that the administrator reconfigure this path to use a local server.
The console server administrator can change the URL in the URL Prefix field to point the Help
button to the new local server location for the files.
To configure the local online help path:
1. Extract the files using the appropriate unzip utility for your O/S and put them into the desired
directory under the web server’s root directory. This must be a publicly accessible web server
For example, the following command line would work on a server running UNIX.
#cd $WEB_SERVER_ROOT/acs-help
#gunzip acs_online_hlp.zip
By default, the online help files are expanded into a console server directory under the
directory where the zip file is located.
2. Log into the Web Manager as admin and go to Administration - Online Help. The Help
configuration screen displays (see Figure 10.4).
3. In the URL prefix field, enter trhe URL of the help files on the server where you
installed them.
The following example would work for a web server named remoteadmin.
http://www.remoteadmin.com/online-help/
