D-Link DES-3624 - Switch - Stackable User manual - Getting Started

Stackable NWay Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 

Getting Started 

The first step in getting started in using Web-based 

management for your Switch is to secure a browser. A Web 

browser is a program that allows a person to read hypertext, 

for example, Netscape Navigator, 4.x or later, or Microsoft 

Internet Explorer, 4.x or later. Follow the installation 

instructions for the browser. 

The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the 

Switch. This can be done manually through a console (see the 

Configure IP Addresssection in the “Using The Console 

Interface” chapter). 

Management 

To begin managing your Switch simply run the browser you 

have 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. 

In the page that opens, click on the Login to DES-3624 

Manager button: 

This opens the main page in the management module. 

The top of each page contains an interactive view of the 

Switch’s front panel. If your Switch is part of a stack, there will 

also be an icon representing each Switch in the stack on the 

132 Web-Based
