Basic Web Management

This section contains information for performing basic configuration using your web browser. It also describes how to backup your configuration and how to reboot or reset your router if necessary. The section includes this information under the following headings:

“Starting Web Management”

“The NETGEAR Home Page and Switch Status”

“System Functions”

“Firmware Menu”

“Factory Reset”

“Resetting the System”

Your NETGEAR Smart Switch series provides a built-in browser interface that enables you to configure and manage it remotely using a standard Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This interface also allows for system monitoring of the switch. The help page covers many of the basic functions and features of the switch and its web interface.

Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later

Starting Web Management

This section describes setting browser interface options and using the home page for the GS748T Smart Switch. This interface is essentially similar to that entered as a result of selecting “Web Access” from the Smart Wizard Discovery utility (see Chapter 2, “Getting Started—Smart Wizard Discovery”). However, if you want to access the switch directly, i.e. without using the Smart Wizard Discovery utility, you must work from the same network segment that contains the switch (i.e. the subnet mask values of switch and PC host must be the same) and you must point your browser using the switch IP address. If you used the Smart Wizard Discovery utility to set up IP address and subnet mask, either with or without DHCP server, use that IP address in your browser window. If you are starting with an “out of the box” switch and are not using the Smart Wizard Discovery utility, you must initially configure your host PC to be on a network segment to match the default parameters of the switch, which are:
