Management; Chapter 14 Management; Overview; What You Need To Know - ZyXEL Communications GS1200 Series User Manual

14.1 Overview

This chapter explains how to use the Management screen to configure settings on the Switch, such as
login password change, firmware upgrade, configuration backup and restore, system reset or reboot, IP
address change, and so on.

14.1.1 What You Need to Know

The Switch is IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliant. Read this section to know more
about IEEE 802.3az.
14.1.1.1 IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
IEEE 802.3az allows both sides of a link to support EEE. When there is no traffic, the port enters Low Power
Idle (LPI) mode. LPI mode turns off some functions of the physical layer (becomes quiet) to save power.
Periodically the port transmits a REFRESH signal to allow the link partner to keep the link alive. When there
is traffic to be sent, a WAKE signal is sent to the link partner to return the link to active mode.

14.2 Management Settings

Use this screen to upload the latest firmware, upload a stored device configuration file, save your
configurations for later use, change the administrator system password, change the IP address, enable
DHCP client, or reboot/reset the system.
An administrator is someone who can both view and configure Switch changes. The default
administrator password is 1234.
Note: It is highly recommended that you change the default administrator password (1234).
