Device Information

The Device Information window contains the main
settings for all major functions for the Switch. It appears
automatically when you log on to the Switch. To return
to the Device Information window after viewing other
windows, click the DGS-3400 Web Management Tool
folder. The Device Information window shows the
Switch's MAC Address (assigned by the factory and
unchangeable), the Boot PROM, Firmware Version,
and Hardware Version. This information is helpful to
keep track of PROM and firmware updates and to obtain
the Switch's MAC address for entry into another
network device's address table, if necessary. The user
may also enter a System Name, System Location and
System Contact to aid in defining the Switch, to the
user's preference. In addition, this screen displays the
status of functions on the Switch to quickly assess their
current global status. Some Functions are hyper-linked
for easy access from the Device Information window.
Many miscellaneous functions are enabled and disabled
in the Device Information menu.
