Chapter 3 Featured Functions
This chapter explains how to access a Weidmueller Ethernet switch’s various configuration,
monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: serial
console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires
using a short serial cable to connect the switch to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know
the IE-SW’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to
access the IE-SW over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure your Ethernet Switch. In this chapter,
we use the Web Console interface to introduce the device functions. There are only a few differences
between the Web Console, Serial Console, and Telnet Console access methods.
