5 Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of the switch.
5.1 Management Options
The Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based Management.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with
Web-Based Management. The PC’s IP address should be in the same range as the switch. Each
switch can allow only one user to access the Web-Based Management at a time.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.
5.2 Using Web-based Management
After a successful physical installation, you can configure the switch, monitor the network status,
and display statistics using a web browser.
Connecting to the Switch
You will need the following equipment to begin the web configuration of your device:
A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet
port on the PC.
Login Web-based Management
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP
address in the same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of
192.168.0.1
the PC should have an IP address of
192.168.0.1x
(where x is a number between 2 ~
254), and a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
. Open the web browser and enter
192.168.0.1
(the
factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.
