Accessing the Switch using the 3Com 
Switch Detect Application
The 3Com Switch Detect application works by automat-
ically locating your Switch, establishing what IP address 
it is using and then launching your default web browser 
to connect directly to it. 
The application will only locate your Switch if it is on the 
same subnet as the PC on which the application is run-
ning. It will not be able to locate your Switch if there is 
a router between your PC and the Switch. The applica-
tion is only designed to run on Windows operating sys-
tems.
