Device Information
The Device Information window contains the main
settings for all major functions for the Switch. It appears
automatically when you log on to the Switch. To return
to the Device Information window after viewing other
windows, click the DGS-3400 Web Management Tool
folder. The Device Information window shows the
Switch’s MAC Address (assigned by the factory and
unchangeable), the Boot PROM, Firmware Version,
Hardware Version and Serial Number. This
information is helpful to keep track of PROM and
firmware updates and to obtain the Switch's MAC
address for entry into another network device's address
table, if necessary. The user may also enter a System
Name, System Location and System Contact to aid in
defining the Switch, to the user's preference. In addition,
this screen displays the status of functions on the Switch
to quickly assess their current global status. Some
Functions are hyper-linked for easy access from the
Device Information window.
Many miscellaneous functions are enabled and disabled
in the Device Information menu.
