Management Methods

The DES-5200 supports four management methods:

∙Local Console Management

∙Telnet Management

∙Web Management

∙D-View/ SNMP Management

Local Console Management

Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console port. Managing the DES-5200 in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the DES-5200.

Telnet Management

Telnet is done over the network. Once the DES-5200 is on the network, you can use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.

D-View/ SNMP Management

The DES-5200 supports SNMP through D-View, D-Link’s proprietary SNMP application and through other vendor’s SNMP applications. Please refer to the appropriate documentation for instructions on installing and using D-View and other SNMP applications.

Web Management

Web Management is done over the Internet. Once an Internet Protocol (IP) address has been assigned to the DES-5200 it can be accessed over the web.

Software Update

Software can be updated quickly and easily. See the section Software Update Menu, Chapter 5, for instructions on updating software.
