Access the Management Console

You have two ways to access the management console:

• Locally on the Control Manager server

  To access the management console locally from the Control Manager server:

  1. Click Start > Programs > Trend Micro Control Manager > Trend Micro Control Manager.

  2. Type the user name and password in the field provided.

  3. Click Enter.

• Remotely using any compatible browser

  To access the console remotely:

  1. Type the following at your browser's address field to open the Log on page:

  http://{hostname}/ControlManager

  Where {hostname} is the Control Manager server's fully qualified domain name (FQDN), IP address, or server name.

  2. Type the user name and password in the field provided.

  3. Click Enter.

Upon opening the console, the initial screen will show the status summary for your whole Control Manager system. This is identical to the status summary generated from the Product Directory. User rights determine the Control Manager functions you can access.

• Control Manager does not allow the same Control Manager management console in more than one browser on the same computer if you use the same User ID and password. Multiple instances on different computers using the same User ID and password is supported.
