3.3 Web Management

The Managed Media Converter offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Media Converter from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. After set up your
IP address for the Managed Media Converter, you can access the Managed Media Converter 's Web interface applications
directly in your Web browser by entering the IP address of the Managed Media Converter.
You can then use your Web browser to list and manage the Managed Media Converter configuration parameters from one
central location, just as if you were directly connected to the Managed Media Converter's RJ45 console port. Web Management
requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 or later.
