The following window contains information about the Serial Port Settings to view this window click Configuration >
Serial Port Settings:
Baud Rate This field specifies the baud rate for the serial port on the Switch. There are four possible
baud rates to choose from, 9600, 19200, 38400 and 115200. For a connection to the Switch
using the CLI interface, the baud rate must be set to 115200, which is the default setting.
Auto Logout Select the logout time used for the console interface. This automatically logs the user out after
an idle period of time, as defined. Choose from the following options: 2 Minutes, 5 Minutes, 10
Minutes, 15 Minutes or Never. The default setting is 10 minutes.
Click Apply to implement changes made.
NOTE: If a user configures the serial port's baud rate, the baud rate will take effect and save
immediately. Baud rate settings will not change even if the user resets or reboots the Switch. The
Baud rate will only change when the user configures it again. The serial port's baud rate setting is
not stored in the Switch's configuration file. Resetting the Switch will not restore the baud rate to
the default setting.

IP Address

The IP address may initially be set using the console interface prior to connecting to it through the Ethernet. If the
Switch IP address has not yet been changed, read the introduction of the DES-3528 CLI Manual or return to Section 4
of this manual for more information. To change IP settings using the web manager you must access the IP Address
window located in the Configuration folder.
Click Configuration > IP Address to display the following window:
To manually assign the Switch's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address:
1. Select Static at the top of the screen.
2. Enter the appropriate IP Address and Subnet Mask.
3. If you want to access the Switch from a different subnet from the one it is installed on, enter the IP address of
the Gateway. If you will manage the Switch from the subnet on which it is installed, you can leave the default
address (0.0.0.0) in this field.
4. If no VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch, you can use the default VLAN Name. The default
VLAN contains all of the Switch ports as members. If VLANs have been previously configured on the Switch,
you will need to enter the Management VLAN Name of the VLAN that contains the port connected to the
