Management Options; Web-Based Management Interface - D-Link DGS-1210-52MP Quick Installation Manual

Management Options

The D-Link Switch can be managed in-band by using
Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-based
Management, accessible through a web browser or
through any PC using the DNA (D-Link Network
Assistant).
If you want to manage only one D-Link Switch, the
Web-Based Management is the better option. Each
switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is
used for communication with Web-Based Management
or an SNMP network manager and the PC should have
an IP address in the same range as the switch.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link
Switches, the DNA (D-Link Network Assistant) is
the better option. Using the DNA (D-Link Network
Assistant), you don't need to change the IP address
of your PC and it is easy to start the initial setting of
multiple Switches.

Web-based Management Interface

After a successful physical installation, you can configure
the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphically using a web browser, such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer version 7.0 and higher, Firefox, Chrome
or Safari.
You need the following equipment to begin the
web configuration of your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
• Standard Ethernet cable
Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front
panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.
Step 2
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet
connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same
range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP
address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address
of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is
a number between 1 ~254), and a subnet mask of
255.0.0.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press
<Enter>.
Step 3
When the following login box appears, enter "admin" for
®
the password. Press OK to enter the main configuration
window.
Step 4
Before entering the Web-based Management, the
Smart Wizard will guide you to quickly configure some
functions, such as Password Settings, SNMP
Settings, and System Settings. If you don't plan to
change anything, click Exit to exit the Wizard and enter
the Web-based Management.
NOTE: The switch's factory default IP
address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default
gateway of 0.0.0.0
