Switch.
You only need to access the Web interface if you want
to:
■ Set the administration password to the Web
interface
■ Assign an IP address to the Switch
■ Configure the Switch’s advanced features
■ Upgrade the firmware

The Summary screen, which automatically loads after
you log on to the Web interface, provides a snapshot of
