3. Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of switch.
3.1 Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network status,
and display statistics using a web browser.
3.1.1 Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Internet Explorer 6 or higher version
Netscape 8 or higher version
Mozilla
Firefox 1.5/2.0 or higher version
3.1.2 Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
1. PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. Standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port
on the PC.
Connected Ethernet cable
3.1.3 Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP
address in the same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of
192.168.0.1, the PC should have an IP address of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 ~
254), and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Open the web browser and enter 192.168.0.1 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.
