# Log In to a Remote Network Element

You can log in to a remote network element (that is, an element that is not the local element), through the Network Element table OR through the Web Console login page.

## Log in from the Network Elements Table

1. In the navigation tree, click Offline Configuration > Edit Offline Configuration. The Offline Configuration navigation tree opens.

2. When prompted to Duplicate Active Configuration, click No.

3. Click Network Elements. The Network Elements table is displayed.

4. Click the Login button beside the element to which you want to log in. If a userID and password have been supplied for the element when it was added to the Network Elements table, then you will be automatically logged in. If not, then the link redirects you to the login page for that node.

## Log in from the Web Console Login Page

1. Open a Web browser and navigate to http://<IP Address or FQDN of the NuPoint UM server>/npm-admin.

2. Enter the User Name and Password for the remote server, then select the server from the Server list.

3. Click Login.
