42 CHAPTER 3: SETTING UP FOR MANAGEMENT Setting Up Web Interface Management This section describes how you can set up web interface management over the network. Pre-requisites ■ Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as described in "Setting Up Overview" on page 30. ■ Ensure that the Switch is connected to the network using a Category 5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. ■ A suitable Web browser. Choosing a Browser To display the web interface correctly, use one of the following Web browser and platform combinations: Table 8 Supported Web Browsers and Platforms Netscape 4.76 Netscape 6.2 Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0 Windows NT Windows 95 Windows 98 4 ✓ ✓ ✓ ✕ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Windows 2000 ✓ ✓ ✓ Windows XP ✓ ✓ ✓ Solaris 2.6 ✓ ✕ ✕ For the browser to operate the web interface correctly, JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if you have changed your browser settings. To enable style sheets in Netscape Navigator 4.76 on Solaris 2.6, open Netscape Navigator and select Edit > Preferences > Fonts. Select the Use document-specified fonts, including Dynamic Fonts radio button. You should also set the font sizes as follows: ■ Variable Width Font - Size 10.0 ■ Fixed Width Font - Size 12.0 This ensures that the text spacing is correct. Finally in the Advanced category ensure that Enable JavaScript and Enable style sheets are checked.
