Introduction
Most software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured, and monitored via the embedded Web-based (HTML)
interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser, such as Internet
Explorer (version 5.5 and later), Netscape (version 8.0 and later), Mozilla Firefox (version 2.0 and later), or Safari (version
4.0 and later). The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP
protocol.
Logging onto the Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser 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 a normal port, is 10.90.90.90. The factory default IP address, for
the management port, is 192.168.0.1.
The Web User Interface’s authentication window can be accessed using the IP address of 10.90.90.90 (normal port), as
seen below.
