Chapter 5 GX5W Management Utility
You can configure the GX5-424W switch through the Web browser.
With the GX5W Management Utility, you can easily assign the IP address, change the password,
and upgrade to new firmware. It is most important to find out the IP of the switch in the network,
even though your PC’s IP is not in the same group as the switch’s IP.
For best performance, use the management screens to configure the switch before placing
it into service. Under heavy network traffic, the first priority is to handle network activity;
management screens will appear later.
