Summary
This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based
management.
About Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the
Managed Switch from anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as
Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0. It is based on Java
Applets with an aim to reduce network bandwidth consumption, enhance access
speed and present an easy viewing screen.
NOTE: By default, IE6.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets.
The user has to explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use
network ports.
The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure
the manager PC must be set on same the IP subnet address with the Managed
Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the
manager PC should be set at 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254,
except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1
with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration
on manager PC.
