Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

ABOUT THIS GUIDE

This User’s Guide tells you how to install your Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch, how to connect it to your Ethernet network, and how to set its configuration using either the built-in console interface or Web-based management (please note that Netscape Communicator/Navigator, 4.x or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer, 4.x or later, are recommended).

Conventions

References in this manual to the DES-3624 Series are frequently written simply as “Switch” or “Switches” where the text applies to all models. Model numbers are normally used only to differentiate among specific Switches where necessary.

Unless differentiated by model number, all information applies to all models.
