Chapter 3 Featured Functions
This chapter explains how to access a Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s various configuration,
monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: serial
console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires
using a short serial cable to connect the EDS to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know
the EDS’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to
access the EDS over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure your EDS. In this chapter, we use the
Web Console interface to introduce the EDS’s functions. There are only a few differences between
the Web Console, Serial Console, and Telnet Console access methods.
