Web-Based Network Management 
Introduction 
The DGS-3024 offers an embedded Web-based (HTML) interface allowing users to manage the switch from anywhere on 
the network through a standard browser, such as Opera, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. 
The Web browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the switch using the HTTP protocol. 
Your browser window may vary with the screen shots (pictures) in this guide. 
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal 
switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in Web-based management are the same as those found 
in the console program. 
 
 
NOTE: This Web-based Management module does not accept Chinese 
language input (or other languages requiring 2 bytes per character). 
 
 
NOTE: The Web browser needs to be upgraded to the latest Java version 
(Java
TM
 Plug-in: version 1.5.0 or later). 
 
Login to Web Manager 
To begin managing your Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and point it to the IP address 
you have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the 
numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch. Please note that the proxy for session connection should be turned off. 
 
 
NOTE: The Factory default IP address for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
