User’s Manual 15
switch management program provides
Console Port
screen, accessible
from the
Basic Management
screen, that lets you configure parameters
for modem access.
When you have configured the external modem from the administration
console, the switch transmits characters that you have entered as
output on the modem port. The switch echoes characters that it receives
as input on the modem port to the current administration console
session. The console appears to be directly connected to the external
modem.
Web Management
The switch provides a browser interface that lets you configure and
manage the switch remotely.
After you set up your IP address for the switch, you can access the
switch’s web interface applications directly in your web browser by
entering the IP address of the switch. You can then use your web
browser to list and manage switch configuration parameters from
one central location, just as if you were directly connected to the
switch’s console port.
Web Management requires either Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01
or later or Netscape Navigator 4.03 or later.
SNMP-Based Network Management
You can use an external SNMP-based application to configure and
manage the switch. This management method requires the SNMP
agent on the switch and the SNMP Network Management Station
to use the same community string. This ma nagement method, in
fact, 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 switch are public.
