3.1 Getting Started with Switch Management Interface
3.1.1 System Requirements
This Switch provides a built-in browser interface that enables you to configure and manage it using a standard Web
browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. The following hardware and software facilities are required to run the
applications described in this manual:
• Network facilities:
– Ethernet network with or without DHCP server as appropriate
– Ethernet cable to connect the switch to a PC
• For Web Management:
Browser: Internet Explorer 8.0, Firefox 10.0 or higher
PC at an IP address of 192.168.0.xxx (Switch’s default management IP is 192.168.0.1 and management VLAN is 1,
which is unchangeable)
Installed NIC
OS software: Windows XP or higher version
3.1.2 Web Login
For first time login to switch's web manager, connect the switch only to a PC (recommended) instead of to other
switches or routers to avoid possible IP conflict. Default parameters preset on the switch are listed below:
