1.3.1 Console and Telnet Management

Managing the switch through the console port requires a direct connection between the computer and the switch using an RS-232 console cable. You can also telnet into the switch from any computer on your network (provided you know the IP address of the switch).

1.3.2 Web Configurator

The switch comes with an embedded HTML web configurator. It offers advanced management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.0 or later).

1.4Applications

The switch is ideally suited as a workgroup switch or a bridge for large network segmentation.

For ES-2008 models that come with a fiber port, you can also use the fiber port to connect to other network switches. The distance between two switches via fiber cable can be up to 2 Km (multi-mode) or 30 Km (single-mode).
