The AWC Plug-in has an emergency mode called "Standalone Mode". This allows direct local access to the plug-in's management web interface, in the unlikely event of Vista Manager EX failing.

Note

To enable Standalone Mode, you have to create a public key during the installation process.

Note

When stand-alone mode is enabled, settings can be made for the menu displayed, with administrative privileges without password entry. We recommend only enabling Standalone Mode in an emergency.

Enable Standalone Mode

1. Login to your PC (a remote system) as a user with Administrator rights.
   
2. Open the [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-AWC\tools\change_standalone folder with Windows Explorer. Create a copy of the public key file "public-key.pem" that was created during the installation process.
   

   Note

   If you had selected "Create public key" during the installation process, "public-key.pem" was created in the following folder:
   

   C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \Documents\Allied Telesis\AT-Vista Manager EX\certs\public-key.pem
   

   This public key file allows you to access all functionalities of the AWC Plug-in and SNMP Plug-in without entering an administrator password. Take extreme care to store the public key file securely by setting appropriate access permissions.
   

3. Right-click [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-AWC\tools\change_standalone\change_standalone.bat and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
   
4. Right-click [Vista Manager EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-AWC\root\reboot.bat and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
   
5. Close your web browser completely.
   

Standalone Mode has been enabled.
