D-Link DHS-3224V Switch User’s Guide

Using the Web Management Software
Introduction
The DHS-3224V provides an embedded Web-based (HTML) interface, allowing users to manage the Switch
from any remote station connected to the same network as the Switch. Using any common web browser, the
administrator can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol. The appearance of the your
chosen browser window may differ from the screen captures that appear in this guide.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) 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 (see Chapter 6).
Since this chapter presents the same management functions as in Chapter 6, explanations of many management
functions are abbreviated.
Note: This Web-based Management Module does not accept Chinese language input
(or other languages requiring 2 bytes per character).
Getting Started
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, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft
Internet Explorer. Follow the installation instructions for the browser.
The second and last step is to configure the IP interface of the Switch. This should be done manually through a
console (see the Configure IP Address section in the “Using The Console Interface” chapter).
