Introduction
The BES50FE-12/24T PWR and BES50GE-12/24T PWR are high
performance Web-managed switches that deliver performance and
control to your network. The BES50FE-12/24T PWR provides 12/24
full-duplex 10/100BASE-TX ports and the BES50GE-12/24T PWR provides
12/24 full-duplex 1000BASE-T ports that significantly improve network
performance and boost throughput using switch features configured through
the Web-based user interface. With 24/48FE and 24/48GE of throughput
bandwidth, these switches provide the quickest solution to meeting the
growing demands on your network.

Using the Web-based user interface
Use the information in this chapter to understand how to use the Web-based
user interface to view and configure information about the Business Ethernet
Switch (BES) 50 Series switch.
Prerequisites
•To use the Web-based user interface, you need the following items:
— a computer connected to a network port that is a member of the
management Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)
— Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later installed on the administration
computer
•Prior to accessing the switch from a Web browser, perform the following
tasks:
—"Setting up the Web-based user interface" (page 18).
— If required, configure the switch with a valid IP address, subnet mask,
and default gateway. (Default: 192.168.1.128/255.255.255.0/0.0.0.0)
See "Initial configuration" (page 22).
— Set a new password by using the Web-based user interface.
Web-based user interface access is password controlled. (Default
user name: nnadmin; default password : PlsChgMe!) See "Changing
the administrator password" (page 23).
ATTENTION
The Web pages of the Web-based user interface can load at different speeds
depending on which Web browser you use.
ATTENTION
Web browser capabilities, such as page bookmarking, refresh, and page forward
and page back, function as they would in any other Web site. However, these
capabilities do not enhance the functionality of the Web-based user interface.
Nortel recommends that you use only the navigation tools provided in the
management interface.

Setting up the Web-based user interface
Nortel recommends that you follow the procedures in this section regarding
Web-based user interface prerequisites before you use the management
features of your switch for the first time.
Procedure steps
Step Action
1Check that Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5.0_07-b03
or later is installed on your PC. Download the latest version from
www.java.com if required.
ATTENTION
The menu on left side of the Web-based user interface may not appear if
the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is not installed.
2Ensure the software programs on your PC enable Java script and
Java applets. Refer to the corresponding software documentation for
instructions. Software programs include but are not limited to:
•Web browser
•firewall
•software that controls Java behavior
ATTENTION
The menu on left side of the Web-based user interface may not appear if
Java script and Java applets are disabled.
3Ensure the software programs on your PC enable Web browser
pop-up dialog boxes. Refer to the corresponding software

•software that controls Java behavior
ATTENTION
Some management features of your switch do not work properly if pop-up
dialog boxes are disabled.

Logging on to the Web-based user interface
Use this procedure to log on to the Web-based user interface.
To access the Web-based user interface you must first enter a password.
Users with Privileged access have Read/Write access to all configuration
parameters and statistics.
ATTENTION
If user input does not occur within 5 minutes, the current session terminates.
Procedure steps
Step Action
1In the Web-based user interface address bar, type the IP address
for your host switch. For example, type http://192.168.1.128, and
press Enter.
2Enter the user name and password, and click OK. (Default user
name: nnadmin. Default password: PlsChgMe!)
—End—
Logging off from the Web-based user interface
Use this procedure to log off from the Web-based user interface.
Procedure steps
Step Action
1From the main menu, choose Administration > LogOut.

2Click Logout. A confirmation dialog box appears.
3Click Ok to log off or click Cancel to cancel the request.
—End—
Navigating the Web-based user interface
When your Web browser connects with the switch Web agent, the home
page appears as shown in the figure "Home page" (page 20). The home
page displays the main menu on the left side of the screen and System
Information on the right side. Use the main menu links to navigate to other
menus and display configuration parameters and statistics.
Home page
The figure shows the home page for the BES50GE-12T-PWR 12-port
switch. Other than the number of fixed ports, there are no major differences
between the 12-port and 24-port switch user interface.
Menu and management pages
Using the onboard Web agent, you can define system parameters, manage
and control the switch and all its ports, or monitor network conditions. The
menu is the same for all pages. It contains a list of six main headings. To
navigate the Web-based user interface menu, click a menu title and then
click one of its options. When you click an option, the corresponding page
appears.
