4: Switch Management ‹ [Default parameters] ‹ 115,200bps ‹ 8 data bits ‹ No parity ‹ 1 stop bit This management method is often preferred because you can remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots. Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port, regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port. A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an emulator such as TIP. Modem Access You can access the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch's administration console from a PC or Macintosh using an external modem attached to the console port. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch management program provides Console Port screen, accessible from the Basic Management screen, which lets you configure parameters for modem access. When you have configured the external modem from the administration console, the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch transmits characters that you have entered as output on the modem port. The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch echoes characters that it receives as input on the modem port to the current administration console session. The console appears to be directly connected to the external modem. Web Management The Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and manage the switch remotely. After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch's web interface applications directly in your web browser by entering the IP address of the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch. You can then use your web browser to list and manage switch configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Xpress-Pro SW 94000 switch's console port. Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 or later or Netscape Navigator 4.03 or later. Netscape Navigator If you use Netscape Navigator 4.03 or 4.04, install the Netscape JDK 1.1 Patch. Download the patch from: http://help.hetscape.com/filelib.html#smartupdate If you encounter problems accessing Help files when you use Netscape, clear the browser memory cache and disk cache, and restart the browser.
