Chapter 5 GX5-W Management Utility for Windows
You can configure the GX5-W switch through the Web browser. In the event you cannot
remember the switch’s IP address, this handy Windows-based utility lets you quickly discover
GX5-224W, GX5-448W, and GX5-2400W switches and lets you make simple changes
(password, firmware upgrade, traps).
For best performance, use the management screens to configure the switch before placing
it into service. Under heavy network traffic, the first priority is to handle network activity;
management screens will appear later.
