Chapter 2 Getting Started - Weidmuller IE-SW-VL08M Series User Manual

This chapter explains how to access your Industrial Ethernet Switch for the first time. There are
three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console
connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a PC's COM
port, can be used if you do not know the switch's IP address. The Telnet console and web browser
connection methods can be used to access Industrial Ethernet Switches over an Ethernet LAN, or
over the Internet.
The following topics are covered:
RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)
Configuration Using a Telnet Console
Configuration Using a Web Browser
Disabling Telnet and Browser Access
