This chapter explains how to access MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect MOXA EtherDevice Switch to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to access MOXA EtherDevice Switch over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.

The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure MOXA EtherDevice Switch. In this chapter, we use the Web Console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the Web Console, Serial Console, and Telnet Console.
