Mode Changing - ZyXEL Communications XGS1930-28 User Manual

Use the Web Configurator to configure and manage the Switch directly in standalone mode or use
Nebula Control Center (NCC) to configure and manage the Switch in cloud mode. You may also
access a minimized version of the Web Configurator in cloud mode.
Nebula Cloud Management
To have Nebula manage the Switch, you must first register it at the Nebula web portal at https://
nebula.zyxel.com, and ensure that Nebula Control Center Discovery is enabled in Basic Setting > Cloud
Management > Nebula Control Center Discovery in the Switch Web Configurator.
Note: See the Switch's datasheet for the feature differences between standalone and
Nebula cloud management modes. You can find the Switch's datasheet at the Zyxel
website.
See the NCC (Nebula Control Center) User's Guide for how to configure the Switch using Nebula.

This section describes how to change the Switch's management mode.
Note: If you change the Switch's management mode from standalone mode to Nebula-
managed mode, the configuration settings of the Switch will be overwritten with what

standalone mode, the Switch will reset to its factory-default settings.
