GS108T and GS110TP Software Administration Manual describes how to
configure and operate the GS108T Smart Switch and GS110TP Gigabit Smart Switch by using the
Web-based graphical user interface (GUI). This manual describes the software configuration
procedures and explains the options available within those procedures.
Audience
The information in this manual is intended for readers with intermediate to advanced system
management skills.
This document was created primarily for the system administrator who wishes to install and
configure the GS108T Smart Switch and GS110TP Gigabit Smart Switch in a network. It assumes
that the reader has a general understanding of switch platforms and a basic knowledge of Ethernet
and networking concepts. To install this switch, it is not necessary to understand and use all of its
capabilities. Once basic configuration is performed, it will function in a network using its
remaining factory default settings. However, a greater level of configuration—anywhere from the
basic up to the maximum possible—will allow your network the full benefit of the switch’s
features. The Web interface simplifies this configuration at all levels.
