About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web server resides in flash memory inside the switch. It
allows users to manage the switch from anywhere on the network through a
standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape.
The Web-Based Management is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce
network bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy
viewing screen.
