Login

Before you configure this device, note that when the GX5-424W switch is configured through an Ethernet connection, the manager PC must be set on the same IP network. For example, when the default network address of the default IP address of the switch is 192.168.123.253, the manager PC should be set at 192.168.123.x (where x is a number between 2 and 252), and the default subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.

Open your web browser (Internet Explorer 5, Netscape 6, Safari 1 and later). A screen resolution of 1024x768 (or higher) is recommended.

Enter IP address http://192.168.123.253 (the factory-default IP address setting) in the address location.

When using the GX5W Management Utility, you do not need to remember the IP address. Select the device shown in the Monitor List of the GX5W Management Utility to settle the device on the Web browser.

When the following dialog page appears, enter the default password admin and press Login to enter the status window.

After entering the password, the main page comes up and the screen displays the device status.
