4 Web Management
The PoE Switch can be configured on web page, including administrator, bandwidth
management, VLAN setting, per port counter, trunk setting, QoS setting, security
filter configuration, backup/recovery, miscellaneous, logout, etc. The web browsers,
such as IE 6.0~7.0, Firefox 2.0~3.0, can be used to configure the web smart switch.
All the web management functions will be illustrated in this chapter.
4.1 Setup your computer for Web management
The Concept of Subnet
Under the TCP/IP environment, network devices must be on the same subnet in
order to connect to each other. This means that your computer must set to the same
subnet and subnet mask as the switch in order to configure the switch through PC
web browser.
To find out the IP address information for your computer, please run Command Line
window in WinNT/2000/XP, and enter “
ipconfig
”. ( or enter “
winipcfg
” in Win9x).
For example, if one IP address is
192.168.2.1
, and the other IP address must be
192.168.2.x
(x can be any number between 2 and 254) for same Class C subnet.
For the same subnet mask, usually
255.255.255.0
is used for all Class C subnet.
Configure you computer’s IP address
Before accessing the switch through web browser, please follow the instruction
below to configure your computer’s IP to the same subnet as the switch. If the web
smart switch IP address has not been changed, it should have the following factory
default value:
Default IP Address:
IP Address:
192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
