1.3 Web based Interface
The user-friendly Web-based interface gives you the option of operating the
Switch from any location in the network via a standard browser such as the
Mozilla Firefox or the Microsoft Internet Explorer.
As a universal access tool, the Web browser uses an applet which commu-
nicates with the Switch via the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
The Web-based interface allows you to graphically configure the Switch.

Opening the Web-based Interface
To open the Web-based interface, you will need a Web browser (a pro-
gram that can read hypertext), for example Mozilla Firefox version 1 or
higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or higher.
Note: The Web-based interface uses the “Java™ Runtime Environment
Version 1.4.2.x, 1.5.x or 6.x” plug-in. If it is not yet installed on your com-
puter, it will be installed automatically via the Internet when you start the
Web-based interface. This installation is very time-consuming.
For Windows NT users: cancel the installation. Install the plug-in from the
enclosed CD-ROM. Proceed by starting the program file
jre-6-windows-i586.exe
in the Java directory on the CD-ROM.
