Add Users and Configure Ports with the Web Manager
NOTE: From the factory, the console server is configured with all serial ports disabled.

access ports. For more information on how to manage users and ports, see Web Manager Security
Menu Options on page 61 and Web Manager Ports Menu Options on page 69.
For more information on how regular users access the Web Manager to manage devices, perform

Other Ways to Access the Web Manager
You can access the Web Manager with either a DHCP-assigned IP address or the default IP
address.
NOTE: Web Manager access with either DHCP or the default IP address requires additional setup and
configuration specific to your network configuration.

IP address, http://192.168.160.10, to bring up the Web Manager and log in.
