NS3562-8P-2S User Manual
You can use a web browser to list and manage the industrial managed switch
configuration parameters from one central location, just as if you were directly
connected to the industrial managed switch's console port. Web management requires
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.0 or later.
SNMP-based network management
Use an external SNMP-based application to configure and manage the managed
switch, such as SNMP Network Manager, HP Openview Network Node Management
(NNM), or What’s Up Gold. This management method requires the SNMP agent on the
switch and the SNMP Network Management Station to use the same community string.
This management method uses two community strings: the get community string and
the set community string.
If the SNMP Network Management Station only knows the set community string, it can
read and write to the MIBs. However, if it only knows the get community string, it can
only read MIBs. The default get and set community strings for the industrial managed
switch are public.
Smart discovery utility
For easily listing the industrial managed switch in your Ethernet environment, the Smart
Discovery utility included on the CD-ROM is an ideal solution.
To run the smart discovery utility:
1. Install the Smart Discovery Utility in the administrator PC.
2. Run the utility.
Note:
If there are two or more LAN cards in the same administrator computer,
choose a different LAN card by using the “Select Adapter” tool.
3. Click the

button for the currently connected devices in the discovery list:
