Web-based Management

The DES-1228 Web-Smart Switch has a web browser GUI interface for configuring the Switch through a web browser. To see the list of web browsers the Web-based Utility supports, see Supported web browsers on page 19. A network administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from the local LAN. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its smart functions.

Login

In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, the PC should have an IP address of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254), and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Open your web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 (the factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press <Enter> (Figure 14)

The web configuration can also be accessed through the SmartConsole Utility. Open the SmartConsole Utility and double-click the switch as it appears in the Monitor List. This will automatically load the web configuration in your web browser.

When the following logon box appears, enter "admin" for the password. Press Ok to enter the main configuration window. (Figure 15)
