WebUI Online Help

You can view Help files for the WebUI at http://help.juniper.net/help/english/screenos_version
(for example, http://help.juniper.net/help/english/5.3).

You also have the option of relocating the Help files. You might want to store them
locally and point the WebUI to either the administrator’s workstation or a secured
server on the local network. In case you do not have Internet access, storing the
Help files locally provides accessibility to them you otherwise would not have.


Copying the Help Files to a Local Drive
---------------------------------------

The Help files are available on the documentation CD. You can modify the WebUI
to point to the Help files on the CD in your local CD drive. You can also copy the
files from the CD to a server on your local network or to another drive on your
workstation and configure the WebUI to invoke the Help files from that location.

1. Load the documentation CD in the CD drive of your workstation.

2. Navigate to the CD drive and copy the directory named help.

3. Navigate to the location where you want to store the Help directory and paste
the Help directory there.


Pointing the WebUI to the New Help Location
-------------------------------------------

You must now redirect the WebUI to point to the new location of the Help
directory. Change the default URL to the new file path, where path is the specific
path to the Help directory from the administrator’s workstation.

1. Configuration > Admin > Management: In the Help Link Path field, replace
the default URL:

http://help.juniper.net/help/english/screenos_version

with

(for local drive) "file://path…/help"

or

(for local server) "http://server_name…/path/help"

2. Click Apply.

When you click the help link in the upper right corner of the WebUI, the device
now uses the new path that you specified in the Help Link Path field to locate
the appropriate Help file.

NOTE: If you want to run the Help files directly from the documentation CD, you can skip
this procedure. Proceed to “Pointing the WebUI to the New Help Location” on this
page.
