NOTE: Using the online help feature from the Avocent/Cyclades server is not always possible due to firewall configurations, nor is it
recommended. It is generally advisable for you to use the online help system provided with the product or download the online help
.zip file and run it from a local server.
The system administrator can download the online help from Avocent. For more information on downloading the
online help, contact Technical Support.
Once the online help file is obtained (in zip format), the files must be extracted and put in to a user-selected
directory under the web server’s root directory. The web server must be publicly accessible.
NOTE: The default URL for online help is http://global.avocent.com/us/olh/acs6000/v_2.2.0/en/index.html.
