Web-Based User Interface

NTRODUCTION
All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based
(HTML) interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard
browser such as Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal access tool and can
communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same
internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the
same as those found in the console program.

To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point it to the IP
address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should be in the format of
http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.
NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.
Enter "admin" in both the User Name and Password fields and click OK. This will open the Web-based user
interface. The Switch management features available in the Web-based manager are explained below.
