Management Options
This system may be managed out-of-band through the
console port on the front/back panel or in-band using
Telnet. The user may also choose the web-based
management, accessible through a web browser. Each
Switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is
used for communication with an SNMP network manager
or other TCP/IP application (for example BOOTP, TFTP).
The Switch's default IP address is 10.90.90.90. The user
can change the default Switch IP address to meet the
specification of your networking address scheme.
Web-based Management Interface
After a successful physical installation, you can configure
the Switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphically using a web browser, such as Netscape
Navigator (version 6.2 and higher) or Microsoft® Internet
Explorer (version 5.0 and higher).
The equipment you need to begin the web configuration
of your device:
A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
A standard Ethernet cable
assembly
Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front
panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.

Step 2
To begin managing your Switch, open the browser you
have installed on your computer and enter the IP
address
of
your
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where the xxx is a number between
1-255. For the user who wants to access the device for
the very first time, enter the factory default IP address
10.90.90.90, and press Enter.
Figure 7. Enter the IP address 10.90.90.90 in the web
Step 3
This opens the management module's user
authentication window, as seen below.
Figure 8. Enter Network Password window
Leave both the User Name field and the Password field
blank and click OK. This will open the Web-based user
interface.
NOTE: The Switch's factory
default IP address is 10.90.90.90
with a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0
and a default gateway of 0.0.0.0.
