Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

You can gain access to Communication Manager System Management Interface (SMI) remotely through the corporate LAN connection. You must connect the virtual machine to the network.

Procedure

  1. Open a compatible web browser.

    For more information the supported browsers, see Supported browsers section.

  2. In the browser, choose one of the following options depending on the virtual machine configuration:
    • LAN access by IP address

      To log on to the corporate LAN, type the unique IP address of the Communication Manager virtual machine in the standard dotted-decimal notation, such as https://192.152.254.201.

    • LAN access by host name

      If the corporate LAN includes a domain name service (DNS) server that is administered with the host name, type the host name, such as https://hostname.domain.com.

  3. Press Enter.
    Note:

    If the browser does not have a valid security certificate, the system displays a warning with instructions to load the security certificate. If your connection is secure, accept the virtual machine security certificate to access the Logon screen. If you plan to use this computer and browser to access this virtual machine or other Communication Manager virtual machine again, click Install Avaya Root Certificate after you log in.

    The system displays the Logon screen.

  4. In the Logon ID field, type the username.
    Note:

    If you use an Avaya services login that Enhanced Access Security Gateway (EASG) protects, you must have an EASG tool to generate a response for the challenge that the Logon page generates.

  5. Click Continue.
  6. Type the password, and click Logon.

    After successful authentication, the system displays the home page of the Communication Manager SMI.
