Introduction

All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured and m onitor e d via the em bedded web-based (HTML)
interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on th e network through a standard bro wser
such as Opera, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. T he browser acts as a universal
access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTT P protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same
internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in w eb-based managem ent are the same
as those found in the console program.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point i t to the IP
address you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like:
http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.
NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as see n below.
