Chapter 6 Configuring the Switch
You can use any popular web browser to configure the GX5-W switch for your network. A
network administrator can manage, control, and monitor the switch from the local LAN. This
section indicates how to configure the GX5-W switch to enable its smart functions.
Login
Before you configure this device, note that when the GX5-W switch is configured through an
Ethernet connection, the manager PC must be set on the same IP network. For example, when
the default network address of the default IP address of the switch is 192.168.123.253, the
manager PC should be set at 192.168.123.x (where x is a number between 2 and 252), and the
default subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.
Open your web browser (Internet Explorer 5, Netscape 6, Safari 1, and later). A screen resolution
of 1024x768 (or higher) is recommended.
Enter IP address http://192.168.123.253 (the factory-default IP address setting) in the address
location.
When using the GX5-W Management Utility, you do not need to remember the IP address. Select
the device shown in the Monitor List of the GX5-W Management Utility to settle the device on the
Web browser.
When the following dialog page appears, enter the default password admin and press Login to
enter the status window.
