About Web-based Management
Inside the CPU board of the switch exists an embedded HTML web site residing in
flash memory. It offers advanced management features and allow users to manage the
switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft
Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 5.0. 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, IE5.0 or later version 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.
