System Information
This option lets you assign the system name, description,
physical location, and contact personnel. You can also look
up your firmware and kernel version here, as well as the
MAC address.
IP Configuration
The switch is a network device and needs to be assigned
an IP address for identification on the network. When
making changes to the menu configuration settings, you
must click Apply to make the changes to the switch. If you
want to make the changes persist after a power cycle, you
must click Save Configuration in the menu on the left side
of the switch web page.
DHCP Server - System Configuration
When you are using multiple switches to manage
numerous devices, you can designate one switch to act as
the DHCP server. All other switches must be designated as
clients with the DHCP server set to OFF.
Only the server can have the DHCP switch set to ON.
DHCP Server - Client Entries
When the DHCP server function is enabled, you can view
DHCP client information here.
TFTP Transaction
In this option, you can update the firmware of the switch.
You will need to run a TFTP server on the computer
connected to the switch, and then enter the IP address of
the computer in the TFTP Server IP Address field. Then
enter the name of the firmware file into the ‘Firmware File
Name’ field and click Apply to start the upgrade process.
Once the upgrade process is complete, you should click
Factory Default on the left-hand side of the Main Page of
the switch.
User Authentication
In this option, you can change the user name and
password of the switch.
Power over Ethernet
In this option, you can manage your Power over Ethernet
options. You also can view the system’s real-time total
power consumption, output voltage for PoE ports, and the
firmware version of the PoE chip.
The switch is managed from an embedded web server, which offers advanced configuration features and lets you access
the switch from anywhere on the network through a standard web browser. The Web-Based Management supports
Internet Explorer 6.0 or later versions.
Note: Pressing the Reset button will restore
