About Web-based Management

The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

The Web-Based Manager supports Internet Explorer 6.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed, and present an easy viewing screen.

NOTE: By default, IEv6.0 or later does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.

The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC is set on same the IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
