P FOR ANAGEMENT
This section describes how you can set up web interface management
over the network.
Ensure you have already set up the Switch with IP information as
described in "Setting Up Overview" on page 30.
Ensure that the Switch is connected to the network using a Category
5 twisted pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors.
A suitable Web browser.
Choosing a Browser
To display the web interface correctly, use one of the following Web
browser and platform combinations:
Table 8 Supported Web Browsers and Platforms
Windows
98/Me
For the browser to operate the web interface correctly, JavaScript™ and
Cascading Style Sheets must be enabled on your browser. These features
are enabled on a browser by default. You will only need to enable them if
you have changed your browser settings.
To manage a Switch using the web interface over an IP network:
1 Check that you have the IP protocol correctly installed on your
management workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the
World Wide Web. If you can browse, the IP protocol is installed.
2 Check you can communicate with the Switch by entering a ping
command at the DOS prompt in the following format:
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the Switch)
If you get an error message, check that your IP information has been
entered correctly and the Switch is powered up.
