1Using the Web Interface
This switch provides an embedded HTTP web management interface. Using a web
browser you can configure the switch and view statistics to monitor network activity.
The web management interface can be accessed by any computer on the network
using a standard web browser.
Connecting to the Web Interface
Prior to accessing the switch from a web browser, be sure you have first performed
the following tasks:
1. The default IP address and subnet mask for the switch is 192.168.2.10 and
255.255.255.0, with no default gateway. If this is not compatible with the
subnet connected to the switch, you can configure it with a valid IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway.
2. Set user names and passwords. Access to the web interface is controlled by a
default user name and password. For security reasons, you should change the
default password and configure new user accounts as soon as possible. (See
“Account Settings” on page 17.)
3. After you enter a user name and password, you will have access to the web
management interface.
Note: Users are automatically logged off of the web server if no input is detected
for 600 seconds.

Chapter 2 | System Management
System Time
– 18 –
System Time
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) allows the switch to set its internal clock
based on periodic updates from a time server. Maintaining an accurate time on the
switch enables the system log to record meaningful dates and times for event
entries. You can also manually set the clock. If the clock is not set manually or via
SNTP, the switch will only record the time from the factory default set at the last
bootup.
When the SNTP client is enabled, the switch periodically sends a request for a time
update to a configured time server. You can configure up to two time server IP
addresses. The switch will attempt to poll each server in the configured sequence.
Setting the Time
Manually
Use the System Management > System Time page to set the system time on the
switch manually without using SNTP.
Parameters
The following parameters are displayed:
Time Mode Setting — Selects “manual” or “sntp” for setting the time.
(Default: manual)
Time – Sets the time on the switch. Enter the date and time in the following
format “YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss”. (Year Range: 1970-2037; Month Range: 1-
12; Day Range: 1-31; Hour Range: 0-23; Minutes Range: 0-59; Seconds
Range: 0-59)
Web Interface
To manually set the system time:
1. Click System Management, then System Time.
2. Select “manual” as the mode.
3. Enter the date and time in the Time field.
