Introduction
The content of this user’s guide pertains to intelligent (management) Hub models only.
An embedded web-based (hypertext) interface allows users to manage the switch from
anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as Netscape
Navigator/Communicator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The web-browser acts as a
universal access tool and can communicate directly, with the Hub, using HTTP protocol.
getting started
The first step in getting started in using web-based management for your Hub, is to
secure a web-browser. A web-browser is a program which allows a person to read
hypertext. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.
