This chapter explains how to access MOXA EtherDevice Switch for the first time. There are three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect MOXA EtherDevice Switch to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to access MOXA EtherDevice Switch over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.

The following topics are covered:

‰Configuration using RS-232 Serial Console (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)

‰Configuration using Telnet Console

‰Configuration using Web Browser

‰Disabling Telnet and Browser Access
