Chapter 4 Software Installation

4.4Accessing to web-based Interface

Instead of using Hyper Terminal Program to configure your Compex SGX3226, you can also use your Internet browser to access to the web-based interface to configure your switch.

You need to ensure that your TCP/IP protocol has installed and configured. Configuration will be much simpler, if you decided to obtain IP address dynamically and use the gateway default IP addresses. Compex SGX3226 comes with a built-in DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses, DNS and Gateway information to the computers connected in the same network. It has been pre-configured with IP address and Subnet Mask of 192.168.100.128 and 255.255.255.0 respectively.

An Internet browser would be used to configure Compex SGX3226. The most commonly used browsers include Netscape Navigator, Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers as they support frames and Java. We recommend you to use the Netscape Communicator V4.06 and higher, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher.

Start by running your browser on a PC connected onto the same network as Compex SGX3226. Enter URL Address, http://192.168.100.128.
