This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based management.
About Web-based Management
The Industrial Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Industrial Managed Switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher. It is based on Java Applets to reduce network bandwidth
consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE 7.0 or higher does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to explicitly
modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
To configure the Industrial Managed Switch through an Ethernet connection, make sure the workstation is be set on same the IP
subnet address with the Industrial Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Industrial Managed Switch is
192.168.0.100
, then the management PC should be set as
192.168.0.x
(where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Industrial Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via
console, then the workstation should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration
on the workstation.
