Getting Started
This chapter explains how to access EDS-518A for the first time. There are three ways to access
the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method,
which requires using a short serial cable to connect EDS-518A to a PC’s COM port, can be used if
you do not know EDS-518A’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection
methods can be used to access EDS-518A over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The following topics are covered:
RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)
Configuration using a Telnet Console
Configuration using a Web Browser
Disabling Telnet and Browser Access
