webconsole not working on the MP

[Kenneth_42]

I have configured the MP of an rx4640 to enable both telnet and the web-console. Telnet works fine but when connecting to the web console using the default port, the web browser does not display anything. I used both IE and Netscape and the results are the same.

1. What do I need to configure to enable the web console to work?

2. When telneting to the MP and switching to console, I need to enter ctrl-ecf command to be able to write since there is an existing serial console connected to the server. What is the exact key-stroke sequence needed to enter the ctrl-ecf so I could enter the console.

Thanks in advance,
Ken

Hi Kenneth,

make sure you have the current firmware on the MP (E.03.15). Find the version with "HE LI". You can enable/disable Web- or telnet acces with the SA command.
About the sequence:
first e
then c f (without )

Hi Ken,

you wrote:
"when connecting to the web console using the default port"

This is maybe your fault: You must not connect to the port you defined in the MP settings.
Instead you connect just to the IP of the MP via HTTP (port 80), f.e.

http://mymp.mydomain.com

Then, a java applet will be loaded from the MP that does connect via the defined port with SSL encryption.
=> both port 80 and the defined port (f.e. 2023) should be opened by firewalls etc. between the client and the MP to access the Web port.

best regards

Ken,
default web port is not 80.
See LC command in CM menu.
