2.2. Preparation for Web Interface
The management web page allows you to use a web browser (such as Microsoft IE, Google
Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox) to configure and monitor the switch from anywhere on the
network.
Before using the web interface to manage your switch, please verify that your switch and your
PC are on the same network. Please follow the steps down below to configure your PC
properly:
1.
Verify that the network interface card (NIC) of your PC is operational and properly
installed, and that your operating system supports TCP/IP protocol.
2.
Connect your PC with the switch via an RJ45 cable.
3.
The default IP address of the switch is
192.168.2.1
. The switch and your PC should
locate within the same IP Subnet. Change your PC's IP address to 192.168.2.X, where
X can be any number from 2 to 254. Please make sure that the IP address you’ve
assigned to your PC cannot be the same with the switch.
4.
Launch the web browser (IE, Firefox, or Chrome) on your PC.
5.
Type
192.168.2.1
(or the IP address of the switch)
in the web browser’s URL field, and
press Enter.
