About Web-based Management

An embedded HTML web server resides in flash memory inside the switch. It allows users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape.

The Web-Based Management 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, Internet Explorer 5.0 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.
