Administrating DS 4


Introducing the Admin Page

To connect to the DeepSearch Administrator Page, enter the URL address for the Admin page by changing mclient.cgi (search page) to madmin.cgi (Admin page) in the search page URL. For example, if the search page URL is http://xxx.xxxx.xxx/cgi-bin/mclient.cgi, change it to http://xxx.xxxx.xxx/cgi-bin/madmin.cgi

After you enter the appropriate URL, a page will prompt you to type in the Admin password you have assigned during the installation.

At the top section of the Admin page you will see 5 menu tabs and 4 large round icons.
