ProConnect II® Series

Remote Console Management

You can manage the Switch remotely by having a remote host establish a Telnet connection to the switch via an Ethernet or modem link.

To use this management method:

•The host must run a SLIP protocol if a modem is used

•The Switch must have an IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.1.254.

•Remote Telnet Login must be enabled on the Switch.

The Remote Console Management interface is identical in appearance and functionality to the Local Console Management interface. If you are using Microsoft’s Telnet, the terminal setting should be set to VT100/ANSI.

SNMP Management

You can manage the Switch across a LAN using an SNMP Network Management Station with a graphical user interface. This management method allows you to monitor statistical counters and set switch parameters from the remote Network Management Station.

To use this management method:

•The network must use the IP protocol

•The Switch must be configured on the network with a proper IP address

•SNMP must be enabled on the Switch.

Assigning an IP Address to the Switch

To manage the Switch remotely using Telnet or with an SNMP Management Station, you must assign an IP address to the Switch. To assign an IP address to the Switch, refer to the Configuring the Switch section.

Logging On to the Switch

When you log on to the Switch for the first time, a sign-in string appears and you are prompted for a console login name and password. The factory default login name is set as “admin” and the password is blank. You can create a password after you log on.

Configuring the Switch

Overview

The Switch features a menu-driven console interface for switch configura- tion. The Switch can be configured locally through the console port using ter- minal emulation software, such as Hyperterminal, or remotely via a Telnet connection.

Web-Based Configuration and Management

This User Guide provides instructions on how to configure and manage the Switch using the console interface. If you wish to manage the switch through a web connection, you can do so by connecting to the Switch’s IP Address using your web browser.

Although the web-based management menu will differ in appearance from the console-based management menu, you will still have access to all the same configuration and management features.

Logging On

When logging on to the Switch, you will receive the following screen prompt:
