Web Management
The switch is fully manageable from a web interface so that the configuration and faultfinding on
the switch is simplified. The switch has a full HTTP server embedded in the firmware to
communicate using Java applets with a standard web browser. It is recommended that an
Internet Explorer browser 5.01 or later is used to benefit from the Java integration.
NOTE:
Platforms with the Windows 2000 operating system and the Service Pack 2 may
see unexpected display artifacts is the browser version is earlier than IE5.5.
Configuring The Switch
The switch has the following default values that need to be adjusted to suit your network
settings:
IP Address:
192.168.16.1
Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.16.254
User Name:
root
Password:
root
1. Obtain the correct local IP addresses from your network administrator and enter the values
from the console menu as detailed on page 20. This IP information has to be entered via the
console as the web interface will not be accessible until the local IP address values have
been entered, saved and the switch restarted.
2. After the switch has been restarted with the new IP address, check that the switch is visible
on the network by ‘pinging’ the address. If the switch is present and correctly configured,
then the ‘ping’ will echo back a response message otherwise the message “Request
Timeout” will be displayed. Ensure that the switch can be ‘pinged’ before proceeding.
Consult your system administrator for details of ‘pinging’. The syntax from your PC is:-
Start >Run> ping 162.109.37.13 –t
•
Where the
162.109.37.13
is the sample IP address allocated to the switch
•
The
–t
causes the ping test to run continuously.
3. After the ‘ping’ test has passed, open a browser window and enter the allocated IP address
of the switch into the address window. For example this may be:-
http://162.109.37.13
•
Enter the correct IP address for your switch into the URL address.
