Moxa UC-8416-CE [23/48] Management tools

3. Management Tools

Moxa’s ready-to-run embedded computers are network-centric platforms designed to serve as front-ends for

data acquisition and industrial control applications. Due to the distributed characteristics of the devices that

these computers control, they are often located in remote locations separate from the system administrator.

Managing this kind of remote computer requires handling configuration, file management, and process (thread)

monitoring/control over the network.

As the UC-8430-CE model comes with a VGA output, this chapter describes how to configure and manage the

UC-8430-CE computer via a display. For the UC-8410/8416/8418 computers, refer to Chapter 4 Web-based

Management System for the detailed configuration. However, the DHCP Allocator Configuration applies to all

UC-8410/8416/8418/8430-CE models. Please also note that the UC-8430-CE model can be managed via the

Web-based Management System.

The UC-8430-CE computers come with a pre-installed management system to assist administrators. Before

using the system, make sure that a CRT or LCD monitor is connected to your UC-8430-CE embedded computer,

and then double-click the desktop icon [System Manager].
