5.3 Setting IP Address
Before performing any management operation over network, the most
important thing is to learn the detailed information about the TCP/IP
network where the managed unit is located. The information includes the
network address, subnet mask, and IP of the default router. The second
thing is to assign an IP address to the managed unit when it is received
for the installation. A unique IP address is used to identify each managed
device from others. Factory default IP address is 192.168.0.5. Assign
your own unique IP address to the managed switch using direct console
management before performing any in-band management operation.
When you log on to the switch console port for the first time, a sign-on
string appears and you are prompted for a console login name and pass-
word. The factory default login name is admin and password is 123. If
you desire, you can change this password after you log on.
5.4 Console Management
Any PC running Windows 95/98/ or NT can be used as a console. Use
the supplied RS232 cable and connect the console port to the COM port
of your console PC. Use Windows Hyper Terminal program to perform
this out-of-band management operations.
