Introduction
If you are using a management station running
Microsoft Windows
®
‘95 and want to access the
switch’s web interface through the switch’s console
port, you must use the 3Com serial web utility (SLIP
Driver) supplied on the floppy disk that accompanies
the switch.
The 3Com serial web utility only works on
Windows ‘95.
Every time you want to access the web interface, use
the serial web utility to set up the connection to the
web interface; it launches your web browser and
accesses the web interface using SLIP for you.
If you have any problems accessing the switch’s web
interface using the serial web utility, refer to
Problems With the Serial Web Utility”
on page C-4.
Installing the Serial Web Utility
The serial web utility can be installed on to a
management station that already has other 3Com
management applications installed on it.
The default directory into which the serial web utility
is installed is C:\Program Files\3Com\3Com Serial Web.
This can be changed during the installation if
required.
The installation program is a standard Windows based
installation. To install the serial web interface:
1
Start Windows ‘95.
If you already have an existing Transcend
®
management application running, ensure that it is
closed down.
2
Insert the floppy disk into your disk drive.
3
Select Run from the Start menu.
