1.3.2 In-band management through Ethernet
In addition to terminal mode configuration, the 24 + 2 Giga SNMP Ethernet Switch
also supports In-Band Configuration using a Web Browser. Compared with terminal
mode configuration, web browser configuration is more convenient and easier. You
can simply connect a network-ready PC to the Switch, open the web browser, go to
the Switch’s configuration page (Switch’s IP address), and configure the Switch by
clicking on the subject on the menu.
Before you can access the switch through in-band, you must make sure the
computer connecting to the Switch has a web browser and the TCP/IP protocol (with
valid IP address) is bound to the network adapter. After that, you can either change
your computer’s IP address to the same class as the Switch’s IP address, or you can
login to the Switch with the “out-of-band” method described in the previous section
and configure the Switch’s IP address to the same class as your computer’s IP
address. Below, is the Switch’s default IP information:
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Modify Switch’s IP address via Out-of-Band method
1. Login the console (note: default User Name: admin, Password: lindy).
2. Use “Tab” key to select (highlight) “Switch Static Configuration” and hit “Enter”.
3. Use “Tab” key to select “Administration Configuration” and hit “Enter”.

5. Use “Tab” key to select “Edit” and hit “Enter”.
6. Use “Tab” key to highlight “IP Address”, enter the desired IP address (e.g.
192.168.1.1), and hit “Enter”.
7. The “Subnet Mask” is now highlighted, enter the correct subnet mask, and hit
“Enter.
8. Input the Gateway address and hit “Enter”.
9. Press and hold “Ctrl” and then hit “A” to go to the “Action Menu”.
10. Use “Tab” key to select “Save” and hit “Enter”.
11. The screen will prompt you to “restart the system…” turn off the Switch, wait for
10 seconds, and then turn the Switch’s power back on.
