Configuring the Switch
The 16-Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Smart Switch has a
menu-driven console interface for smart switch configuration.
The Switch can be configured through the serial port. A network
administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from
the console program. This section indicates how to configure the
Switch to enable its smart functions including:
¾ Setup
There are two items, Port Configuration and VLAN, shown in the
Setup screen. Each function of these two items will be illustrated
in the following sections.
¾ System
In the System screen, Factory Reset, Change Password, Confirm
Password, Refresh Time, and Login Timeout, can be viewed and
changed. System Uptime can’t be altered and is governed by the
Switch.
¾ File
The Switch can have its configuration file uploaded or
downloaded by using Upload Configuration or Download
Configuration settings in the File setting screen.
¾ Statistics
In the Statistics menu screen, each port’s data transmit and
receive status can be viewed, but not changed.
