About the Web-Based GUI
This switch can be managed using it’s web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI).
You can access the GUI through any device that’s connected to your network
and equipped with a standard browser (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google
Chrome, etc.).
• The switch’s default IP address is: 192.168.0.100
• The switch’s default subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0
• The default username for the administrator account is: admin
• The default password for the administrator account is: admin
In order for a device to access the switch’s management GUI, the device must be
connected to your network and assigned an IP address that’s on the same subnet
as the managed switch with an identical subnet mask.
For example:
If the switch is set to its default IP address of 192.168.0.100, then
the device that’s accessing it must be assigned an IP address of 192.168.0.x (x is a
number between 1 and 254, except 100). As the switch supports DHCP it’s likely
your computer will automatically be assigned an IP address in the same range,
unless your device has a manually assigned IP address.
Notes:
•
GUI is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth
consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
•
By default, many browsers (including Internet Explorer 8.0 or later) do not
allow Java Applets to open sockets. If this is the case for your browser, you’ll
have to modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network
ports.
