Introduction 

All software functions of the Switch can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) 

interface. The Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser 

such as Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser acts as a universal access tool and can 

communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol. 

The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same 

internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as 

those found in the console program. 

Login to the Web Manager 

To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you 

have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the 

numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch. 

NOTE:

 The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.  

This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.
