Running the 3Com Switch Detect Application

The 3Com Baseline Switch CD-ROM contains, in addi- tion to the documentation, the 3Com Switch Detect Application.

To use 3Com Switch Detect to connect to the Web interface of your Switch, do the following:

1On the computer that is connected to your Switch (either directly or on a network that is on the same sub- net), insert the CD-ROM into its CD drive.

If you have autorun enabled, you will be presented with a menu showing the contents of the CD-ROM. Select the 3Com Detect Application link to install the utility. Follow the onscreen instructions.

If the auto-run program does not start, you should browse to your CD-ROM drive, go to the /switch detect directory and double click on setup.exe. Follow the prompts that will take you through the installation pro- cess.

Once installed, the 3Com Switch Detect Application can be accessed from the Windows Start/Programs list.

When the 3Com Detect application starts, you will be see the Welcome Screen (Figure 12).

2If the computer has multiple network adapters, select the adapter that connects the computer to the network or Switch, click "Next."

3You will then be offered the choice of searching the same subnet that your PC is on for a connected switch (default), or specifying an IP range. Note that specifying a large range may take some time for the search to complete.
