Adding a device
To add a device to the Devices tab, proceed as follows:
- In the URL field at the bottom of the dialog, enter the path with the IP address of your device or its domain name.
- Click the Open GUI button.
HiView establishes a connection to the device, opens the graphical user interface of the device and adds the device to the dialog. HiView copies the program file of the device to the cache directory of the HiView installation directory.
The HiOS devices, with software version 7.0 and higher, have an HTML5 based Graphical User Interface (GUI). When you enter an IP address of a device with an HTML5 based GUI, HiView connects to the device with your default browser. After accessing the device, HiView adds the device to the dialog.
The BAT devices also have HTML dialogs. When you enter an IP address of a BAT device, HiView connects to the device with your default browser.
Note:
HiView does not support BAT-C nor BAT-C2 devices.
Note:
To help provide secure communications, use HTTPS or SSH to connect to a device. Disable the HTTP and Telnet functions in the Web Server dialog of the device.
