Management Interfaces
The switch provides management access via http or https (enabled per default), telnet, SSH,
SNMP or the local console port. All interfaces except the console port require access via the
Ethernet network. For this interfaces correct IP (Internet Protocol) settings are required. The
IP address, gateway and subnet mask must match with requirements of the network. Per
default, DHCP is enabled. This allows the automatic configuration of all IP settings by a DHCP
server. If no DHCP server is available, the IP settings must be configured via the console port,
which operates as CLI (Command Line Interface).
Per default, all interfaces are using the same login (admin) and password (microsens).
5.1
WEB Interface
The switch provides an http or https based WEB interface. Per default, https is enabled. Http
can be enabled in the CLI or WEB interface if needed.
The WEB interface is achieved as following:
Step 1: Connect the switch with your PC via an Ethernet interface
Step 2: Open a WEB browser and enter the IP address of the switch
(You can find the IP address in the CLI interface or by checking the DHCP server)
If the IP settings are correctly, the following login appears:
Figure 12: Login
Step 3: Enter username and password to open the WEB interface.
The following WEB page appears. On the left side you can find the configuration menu. It is
divided in four main sections: configuration, monitoring, diagnostics and maintenance. Please
scroll through the configuration section, open the interesting feature and configure it in detail.
On each WEB page a help button “?” is shown. Press this button to open a detailed feature
description. The monitoring section allows you to check extended status information of
several features. Diagnostic functions like ping, traceroute and veriPhy (measuring of the
cable length) are available to check network connections. The maintenance section allows
firmware or configuration updates, a reset, a factory default reset or a download of a
configuration file. Especially the “save running configuration” function must be considered to
save applied settings permanently.
