Configuring and Managing the WFS709TP

The browser interface allows you to configure and manage WFS709TPs. The browser interface is accessible through a standard web browser from a remote management console or workstation. Before you can use the management interface from a remote console or workstation, you must configure the WFS709TP with an IP address and default gateway and connect it to your network. See Chapter 2, “Deploying a Basic WFS709TP System” for more information.

Note: In this manual, the instructions for reaching a specific browser interface page are shortened to specify the sequence of tab or page selections; for example, “Navigate

to the Configuration > Basic > Network > VLAN page.”

All WFS709TPs have a serial port for connecting to a local console, and a 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port for out-of-band management. Refer to the document WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Hardware Installation Guide for more information about the switch’s ports.

Note: You can find the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Hardware Installation Guide in PDF form on the WFS709TP Resource CD. It is also available from the

NETGEAR support site.

To use the browser interface, enter the IP address of the WFS709TP in a web browser.

Note: The WFS709TP browser interface requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. Other browsers may work, but have limited functionality and are therefore not supported.
