Please refer to the following Chapter 4 and 5 for the details.
3.2 Management Methods
There are two ways to manage the FNSW-1608PS:
- Local Console Management via the Switch serial port.
- Web Management via a network or dial-up connection.
3.2.1 Local Console Management
You can manage the FNSW-1608PS locally by connecting a VT100 terminal, or a personal computer or workstation with
terminal emulation software, to the Switch serial port. The terminal or workstation connects to the Switch serial port using a
null modem cable that has the appropriate connectors on each end.
This management method is ideal when:
- The network is unreliable.
- The Network Manager does not have direct network connection.
The serial port of the Switch default setting is set to 19200 baud using a character format of 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit.
Therefore, configure the terminal or workstation to use these settings before you log on to the FNSW-1608PS. You can
change this default setting, if desired, after you log on.
3.2.2 Web Management
You can manage the FNSW-1608PS remotely by having a remote host with web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Ex-
plorer or Netscape Navigator.
Using this management method:
The FNSW-1608PS must have an Internet Protocol (IP) address accessible for the remote host.
3.3 Assigning an IP Address to the Switch
To manage the FNSW-1608PS remotely through the web browser with a Management Station, you must assign an IP
address to the FNSW-1608PS.
To set the IP address, please use "set ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx mmm.mmm.mmm.mmm ggg.ggg.ggg.ggg" command. For
example, to configure the switch with the following IP settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.254
Press the following command and press <Enter>
set ip 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.254
If the IP is successfully configured, the switch will automatically restart as the following screens. After reboot the Switch and
power on completed, you can access the web interface of FNSW-1608PS through the new IP address.
