Local and Remote Configurationxxx | xxx47
3 When the browser makes contact with the switch, enter your username and
password, then click Login. The switch OBWI will appear.
NOTE: The default username is Admin with no password.
To log in to the switch OBWI from outside a firewall, repeat the above
procedure, entering the external IP address of the firewall instead.
NOTE: The RCS will attempt to detect if Java is already installed on your PC.
If it is not, in order to use the on-board web interface, you will need to install it.
You may also need to associate the JNLP file with Java WebStart.
NOTE: Using the on-board web interface requires using Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0_11 or higher.
NOTE: Once you have logged in to the on-board web interface, you will not
have to log in again when launching new sessions unless you have logged
out or your session has exceeded the inactivity timeout specified by the
administrator.
Using the User Interfaces
After you have been authenticated, the user interface appears. You may view,
access, and manage your switch, as well as specify system settings and change
profile settings. The following figure shows the user interface window areas.
Screen descriptions are provided in the following table.
