32 CHAPTER 3: CONNECTING TO THE WEB INTERFACE
Running the 3Com Switch Detect Application
The 3Com Baseline Switch CD-ROM contains, in addi-
tion to the documentation, the 3Com Switch Detect
Application.
To use 3Com Switch Detect to connect to the Web
interface of your Switch, do the following:
1 On the computer that is connected to your Switch
(either directly or on a network that is on the same sub-
net), insert the CD-ROM into its CD drive.
If you have autorun enabled, you will be presented with
a menu showing the contents of the CD-ROM. Select
the 3Com Detect Application link to install the utility.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
If the auto-run program does not start, you should
browse to your CD-ROM drive, go to the /switch detect
directory and double click on setup.exe. Follow the
prompts that will take you through the installation pro-
cess.
Once installed, the 3Com Switch Detect Application can
be accessed from the Windows Start/Programs list.
When the 3Com Detect application starts, you will be
see the Welcome Screen (Figure 12
).

the adapter that connects the computer to the network
or Switch, click "Next."

same subnet that your PC is on for a connected switch
(default), or specifying an IP range. Note that specifying
a large range may take some time for the search to
complete.
