4.2.2 Requirements for the use of WBM
As the web server operates using the Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, a standard browser can
be used. Access is via the URL “http://IP address of the device”.
Example: http://172.16.29.112
For full operation of the web pages, the browser must support JavaScript 1.2 and Cascad-
ing Style Sheets Level 1. We recommend the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.
4.2.2.1 Structure of the web pages
The web pages are divided into four areas:
–
Device type and device logo
– Device name (specified by the user) and loading time, to avoid mix-ups
– Navigation tree on the left-hand side
– Information tables on the right-hand side, which contain current device information
during runtime.
4.2.2.2 Password concept
After having entered the valid password, no further entry of the password is necessary for a
period of 300 s (default). After this period of time has elapsed or after clicking on “Logout”,
the password must be re-entered.
The concept is valid for the first ten users logged in simultaneously. All other users must
confirm each configuration modification by entering the password, until less than ten users
are logged in.
4.2.3 Functions/information in WBM
The navigation tree provides direct access to the following four areas:

General Instructions
Basic information about WBM.
Modifications can only be made by entering the valid password. By default upon delivery,
the password is “private”.
For security reasons, we recommend changing the existing password to a new one
known only to you.
WBM can only be called using a valid IP address. By default upon delivery, the switch has
no valid IP address.
Settings are not automatically saved permanently. If the active configuration has not been
saved, a flashing floppy disk icon appears in the top-right corner in WBM. The icon is
linked to the “Configuration Management” web page. The active configuration can be
saved permanently by selecting “Save current configuration” on this web page.
If the connection is interrupted during the transmission of web pages, a waiting time of
several minutes is required before the web interface can be accessed again.
