2 Getting Started D-Link Web Smart Switch User Manual 2 Getting Started This chapter guides you how to get into and introduces the management interface of D-Link Web-Smart Switch. Management Options The D-Link Web Smart Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based Management Utility or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility. If you want to manage only one D-Link Web Smart Switch, the Web-Based Management Utility is the better option. Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based Management Utility or an SNMP network manager and the PC should have an IP address in the same range as the switch. However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Web Smart Switches, the SmartConsole Utility is the better option. Using the SmartConsole Utility, you don't need to change the IP address of your PC and it is easy to start the initial setting of multiple Smart Switches. Please refer to the following detailed installation instructions for the Web-Based Management Utility and the SmartConsole Utility. Using Web-based Management Utility After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics graphically using a web browser.
