Command Line Interface
The D-Link Web Smart Switch allows a computer or terminal to perform some basic monitoring and
configuration tasks by using the Command Line Interface (CLI) via TELNET protocol.
To connect a switch via TELNET:
1. Make sure the network connection between the switch and PC is active.
2. To connect, launch any terminal software like
HyperTerminal
in Microsoft Windows, or just use the
command prompt by typing the command
telnet
followed by the switch IP address, eg.
telnet 192.168.0.1
.
3. The logon prompt will appear.
Logging on to the Command Line Interface:
Enter your User Name and Password to log in. The default user name and password is
admin
. Note that the
user name and password are case-sensitive. Press
Enter
in both the Username and Password fields. The
command prompt will appear as shown below (
