Web-based Switch Configuration
Introduction

Web-based User Interface
Introduction
All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded web-based
(HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser,
such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, Netscape 8.0 or later, or Firefox 2.0 or later. The browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same
internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same
as those found in the console program.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you
have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should be in the format of http://123.123.123.123, where the
numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.
NOTE:
The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.
