Applications

The Micro Webserver 200 enables you to publish Web pages, create a Web presence, and simplify Web site management reducing operational costs, increasing productivity, and enhancing your presence on the Web. Several sample applications follow, which take advantage of the Micro Webserver 200 features. The Micro Webserver 200 is ideal for small to medium-sized businesses as well as educational environments.

Virtual Web Library in an Educational System

In this example, a school wants to provide a library of information over the Web to assist teachers with developing course content and help students with homework and term papers. Most schools have limited funds and cannot afford the cost of a dedicated wide-area network (WAN) connection for Internet access during school hours.

The school can use a Micro Webserver 200 to create a virtual Web library. Commonly accessed information can be transferred to the Micro Webserver 200. Teachers and students can access information on the Web server and not on the Internet. This application reduces Internet access time and WAN costs. It also ensures that students cannot access inappropriate Web sites.

Documentation Server and Workgroup Intranet in a Law Firm

This example features a commercial law firm that wants to reduce the costs, maintenance, physical space and operational efforts required to house hundreds of legal documents and legal reference material. In addition, the firm would like quick and orderly access to in-house records.

Cisco System's solution is to use a Micro Webserver 200 as a Document Server and Workgroup intranet to access, transfer, copy, and store legal documents, reference materials, and in-house records.

Project Server in a Creative Services Agency

This example highlights a creative services agency that would like to quickly disseminate and share project plans, specifications, schedules, and design concepts with its employees and customers over the Web.

The agency can post all related project information as soon as it is available to a Micro Webserver 200, creating a Project Server. Now employees and customers can review, copy, update, and edit posted information in a more timely, cost-effective way.

Site Requirements

For the safe installation and operation of your system, ensure that your site is properly prepared before beginning installation. The Micro Webserver 200 can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a rack. The location of the Micro Webserver 200 and the layout of your equipment rack or wiring room are extremely important for proper system operation. Equipment placed too close together, inadequate ventilation, and inaccessible panels can cause system malfunctions and shutdowns and can make Micro Webserver 200 maintenance difficult.

Caution The Micro Webserver 200 is rated for an ambient temperature of 10 to 32 degrees Centigrade (50 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit).

When planning your site layout and equipment locations, keep in mind the precautions described in the section, "Safety Guidelines." The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for your Micro Webserver 200 and will help you avoid environmentally caused equipment failures:

• Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room in which you operate your system has adequate air circulation.

• Always follow ESD-prevention procedures when removing and replacing components. Ensure that the chassis is electrically connected to earth ground. Wear an ESD-preventive writs strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact.

• Connect the grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground ESD voltages. To properly guard against ESD damage and shocks, the wrist strap and cord must operate effectively. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis. For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

• Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis is designed to allow cooling air to flow effectively within it. An open chassis allows air leaks, which may interrupt and redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.

Safety Guidelines

This section describes some basic safety procedures for working with your Micro Webserver 200. Read these guidelines and be cautious and safety conscious at all times when working with your product.

	Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install and replace this equipment.
	Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
	Warning Before working on this system, disconnect the power cord.
	Warning Do not touch the power supply when the power cord is connected. Line voltages are present within the power supply even when the power switch is off, and the power cord is connected.
	Warning Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.
	Warning This system is designed to work with telephone-network (TN) power systems.
	Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 15A U.S. (240 VAC, 10A international) is used on the phase conductors (all current-carrying conductors).
	Warning There is the danger of explosion if the battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
	Warning Ultimate disposal of this product should be handled according to all national laws and regulations.
