System Requirements
Your switch is designed to operate with a variety of platforms, operating
systems and network cards. Actual performance will depend on a combination
of these components. Dierences in performance can occur depending on the
versions and types of platforms, operating system and network cards used.
The minimum system requirements are:
• Clients running Windows 98/ME, NT4.0, 2000/XP, Vista, MAC OS9 or later,
Linux, UNIX or other platform compatible with TCP/IP protocols.
• Workstation installed with an Ethernet NIC (Network interface Card)
• Serial Port connection (Terminal)
• Above PC with COM Port (DB-9)
• Ethernet Port connection
• Network cables - Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connec-
tors.
• Above PC installed with WEB Browser and JAVA runtime environment
Plug-in
Note: We recommend using Windows XP or Windows 7 with Internet Explorer
6.0 or above for access to the switch management setup.
Terminal Setup
There are three ways to access and setup your switch. They are:
• RS-232 console
• Telnet
• Web Browser
RS-232 console
To congure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to the serial (console) port of the GE-DS-82 Managed
Switch. The console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that you can
connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null Modem.

Web Browser Setup
Start Web Management
The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the GE-DS-82

is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
