 DGS-3400 switch series can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-
based (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser. The 
browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol. 
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. 
Logging in to the Web Manager 
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser 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. 
 
NOTE: The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.  
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.
