A Web Option session can be started by typing the following URL into the address bar of a browser window:
http://myibmi:4100/web2e
The name of the IBM i where you have installed Web Option.
This makes the initial call to the Web Option router program that initiates an interactive job and starts a conversation between the browser and the IBM i.
You initially see the Web Option sign-on screen (unless you have configured Web Option to allow specific user sign-on or unless you have specified a default Web Option sign-on user profile). If you enter a valid IBM i user ID and password, an interactive job runs on the IBM i, and you can continue to press buttons and enter data on the Web Option screens (the conversation continues between your browser and the IBM i through the HTTP server instance until you close the session).
Close the session either by closing the browser window or by executing the W2E_CLOSE command using a button in the browser window (you can execute this command by clicking Close on the Web Option sign-on page).
