You must have an IP stack correctly installed on your management
workstation. You can check this by trying to browse the World Wide
Web; if you can browse, an IP stack is installed.
Installing Online Help
and Documentation
The CD-ROM supplied with your Switch contains online help and online
documentation that can be used with the web interface:
■
The online help system is in an HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
format.
■
The online documentation is an online version of this User Guide in
two formats, HTML and PDF (Portable Document Format).
To set up the online help and documentation:
1
Decide where the files are to be stored:
■
On a local drive of your management workstation (recommended)
■
On the CD-ROM, inserted into the CD-ROM drive of your
management workstation
■
On a network server
■
On the CD-ROM, inserted into the CD-ROM drive of a networked
CD-ROM server
■
On a Web server
If several users are using the web interface, we recommend that you
copy the files onto a server, or insert the CD-ROM into a networked
CD-ROM server.

If the files are to be accessed from the CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM
