Introduction
The DES-3250TG offers an embedded Web-based (HTML) interface allowing 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 Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal
switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in
the console program.
Note: This Web-based Management Module does not accept Chinese language input (or other languages requiring 2 bytes
per character).
Login to Web Manager
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, Opera, Netscape Navigator, or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Follow the installation instructions for your browser.
The second step is to give the switch an IP address. This can be done manually through the console or automatically using
BOOTP/DHCP.
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.
Note: The Factory default IP address for the switch is 10.90.90.90.
