The General Page presents four items of information. This is the same information that displays after you log in from a browser, or when you click the General icon at the top left of the browser main page. The meaning of these items is described in the table below:

Item

Description

 

 

Device Name

This field lets you give the switch a unique name. This can be

 

convenient when you need to differentiate among several

 

devices in multi-station installations.

 

 

MAC Address

This item displays the KL9108 / KL9116's MAC address.

 

 

Firmware Ver

This item displays the current firmware version number. You can

 

reference it to see if there are newer versions available on the

 

Altusen Website.

 

 

Last IP from DHCP

If the switch is on a network that uses DHCP assigned IP

Server

addresses, this item is a convenient way of ascertaining what its

 

IP address is, to inform the Users which IP to use when they

 

want to log in to the KL9108 / KL9116.
