Logging In
Overview
The KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 switch can be accessed from a local
console or an internet browser. Browser access is provided for convenience in
performing administrative tasks from a remote location. Port switching and
port operation procedures can only be performed from a console.
No matter which method you choose to access the KM0032 / KM0532 /
KM0932, the switch’s authentication procedure requires you to submit a valid
username and password. If you supply an invalid login, the authentication
routine will return a Username and/or Password Error message. If you see this
type of message, log in again with a correct username and password.
Note: If the number of invalid login attempts exceeds an amount specified by
the switch’s Super Administrator, a timeout period is invoked. You must
wait until the timeout period expires before you can attempt to log in
again. See Security, page 75 for details.

is no user logged in, the KM0532 or KM0932 login screen appears on the
display:
Simply key in your Username and Password, then click Login to bring up the
Console UI.
Note: Depending on the switch, the title bar displays KM0532 or KM0932
Login. If the switch is unavailable, it says No device attached.
