About Addresses

The first time you connect, you must enter the address of your WebAccess Project in the Address bar of your Web Browser. Later, you can add this address to your "Favorites". The address can take several forms:

 

·         URL is the Universal Resource Locator, for example http://www.broadwin.com/. If your company has assigned a URL to your WebAccess Project, enter this in the Address Bar of Internet Explorer. URL also can have similar forms, for example the WebAccess Live Demo project node can be reached at http://demo.broadwin.com/

 

·  IP Address, Internet Protocol Address. The IP address is a series of 4 numbers separated by periods (e.g. http://64.55.156.4). 

 

·         Computer Name - If you are on an Intranet, you can enter the computer name of the WebAccess Project Node (for example "Server1").  This can be either a TCP/IP "host name" or the Microsoft Network name.

·         Local PC - If you are on a PC that has the Project Node software installed and a network card, you can use the default localhost address or url:
http://localhost

or
http://127.0.0.1

 

If you are on a standalone PC without a network card, and you have the Project Node software installed, you must use the computer name: (for example http://YourPCName).
