Requirements
The operating system of the workstation running Windows XP/2003, Vista, Windows 7, MAC OS X , Linux, Fedora,
Ubuntu or other platform compatible with TCP/IP protocols.
Workstation installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card)
Ethernet Port connection
Network cables - Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
Above Workstation installed with WEB Browser and JAVA runtime environment Plug-in
Serial Port connection
Above PC with COM Port (DB-9 / RS-232) or USB-to-RS-232 converter
It is recommended to use Internet Explore 6.0 or above to access Managed Switch.
Terminal Setup
To configure the system via terminal connection, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or notebook computer and to
serial (console) port of the 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.

Figure 1: Console Management Diagram
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Managed Switch. Windows' Hyper Terminal program
may be a good choice. The Hyper Terminal can be accessed from the Start menu.
1. Click START, then Programs, Accessories and then Hyper Terminal.
2. When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:
57600 bps
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
Figure 2: Terminal Parameter Settings
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots.Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port.A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an
emulator such as TIP.

Login in the Console Interface
Once the terminal has connected to the device, turn on the Managed Switch, and the terminal will display the status of testing
being performed.
Then, the following message asks the login user name and password. The factory default user name / password as following
and the login screen in Figure 3 appears.
Username: admin
Password: admin
Figure 3: Managed Switch Console Login Screenshot
1. For security reasons, please change and memorize the new username and password after
this first setup.
Username Max: 6, Min: 1characters.
Password Max: 6, Min: 1characters.
2. Only accept command in lowercase letter under console interface.
Configure IP address
The Managed Switch is shipped with the following default IP address.
IPAddress : 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Switch, please use the following procedures:
Show the current IP address
1. On ”Switch# ” prompt, enter “configure”.
2. On ”Switch(config)# ” prompt, enter “show ip”.

IFS NS2503-8P/2C Quick Guide

3. The screen displays the current IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. As show in Figure 4.
Figure 4: Show IP information Screenshot
Configure IP address
1. On “Switch(config)# ” prompt, enter the following command and press <Enter>. As show in Figure 5.
Switch(config)# ip address 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0
Switch(config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
The previous command would apply the follow settings for the Switch.
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254

2. Repeat Step 1 to check if the IP address is changed.
If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP address settings immediately. You can access the
Web interface of the Managed Switch through the new IP address.
If you are not familiar with console command or the related parameter, enter “help” anytime in
console to get the help description.
You can change these settings, if desired, after you log on. This management method is often preferred because you can
remain connected and monitor the system during system reboots.Also, certain error messages are sent to the serial port,
regardless of the interface through which the associated action was initiated. A Macintosh or PC attachment can use any
terminal-emulation program for connecting to the terminal serial port.A workstation attachment under UNIX can use an
emulator such as TIP.
Start Web-based Management
The Managed Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the Managed Switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0 or later. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE 6.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.

The Managed Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same the
IP subnet address with the Managed Switch.
For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100, then the manager PC should be set at
192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
If you have changed the default IP address of the Managed Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via console,
then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) to do the relative configuration on
manager PC.
Logging on the Managed Switch
1. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 or above Web browser. Enter the factory-default IP address to access the Web interface. The
factory-default IPAddress as following:
http://192.168.0.100
2. When the following login screen appears, please enter the default username “admin” with password “admin” (or the
username/password you have changed via console) to login the main screen of Managed Switch. The login screen in
Figure 4-1-1 appears.
Figure 6: Login Screen
Default User name: admin
Default Password: admin
3. After entering the username and password, the main screen appears as Figure 7.

Figure 7: Web Main Page Screenshot
4. The Switch Menu on the left of the Web page let you access all the commands and statistics the Switch provides.
1. We recommend using Internet Explore 6.0 or above to access Managed Switch.
2. If the IP address of the switch is changed, the change will take effect immediately after you
have clicked on the Apply button, therefore you need to use the new IP address to access
the Web interface.
3. For security reasons, please change and memorize the new password after the first setup.
4. The Switch accepts commands in lowercase letters on the web interface.
Resetting the IP address and Admin Password
To reset the IP address to the default IP Address “192.168.0.100” or reset the password to default value press the hardware
reset button at the front panel about 10 seconds. After the device is rebooted, you can login the management WEB interface
within the same subnet of 192.168.0.xx.
