4. WEB CONFIGURATION

This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-based management from Managed Switch.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-based Management supports Internet Explorer 7.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce
network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE7.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has
to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, making sure the manager PC must be
set to the same IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set
to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask
255.255.255.0 via console, then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2
and 254) to do the relative configuration on manager PC.
