Web management
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the web-based management
interface for the industrial managed switch.
About Web-based management
Web-based management of the industrial managed switches supports Internet Explorer
8.0 or later, and can be performed from any location on the network. It is based on Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed,
and present an easy viewing screen.
Note:
By default, IE 8.0 and above does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The
user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network
ports.
The industrial managed switches can be configured through an Ethernet connection
when the manager computer is set to the same IP subnet address as the industrial
managed switch.
For example, if the default IP address of the industrial managed switch is
192.168.0.100, then the administrator computer should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x
is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
If the default IP address of the industrial managed switch has been changed to
192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via the console, then the administrator
computer should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do
the relative configuration on a manager computer.
