Introduction
All software functions of the DES-3526 can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded
web-based (HTML) interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Opera, Netscape Navigator/Communicator, or Microsoft
Internet Explorer. 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.
Login to Web Manager
To begin managing your Switch, simply run the browser you have 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 for the Switch is
10.90.90.90.
