DWS-3160 Series Gigabit Ethernet Unified Switch Web UI Reference Guide Section 1 Web-based Switch Configuration Introduction Login to the Web Manager Web-based User Interface Web Pages Chapter 1 Introduction All software functions of the DWS-3160 Series switches 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. 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. Chapter 2 Login to 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 read something like: 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. 2
