About this Guide
This user guide provides instructions to manage, control and monitor the switch using the Simple Network
Manager.
This guide is intended for operating personnel (sometimes called craft persons). Users must be familiar
with the basic operations of a Layer 2 switch. Access to the hardware interface is by a computer with a
telnet terminal.
