Featured Functions
This chapter explains how to access a Moxa PowerTrans Switch’s various configuration,
monitoring, and administration functions. There are two ways to access these functions: serial
console and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short
serial cable to connect the PT-7324 to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the
PT-7324’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to
access the PT-7324 over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure your PT-7324. In this chapter, we use
the Web Console interface to introduce the PT-7324’s functions. There are only a few differences
between the Web Console, Serial Console, and Telnet Console access methods.
