Getting to Know Your Switch
1.1 About the RGS-7168GCP(-E) Series
Industrial Switch
RGS-7168GCP(-E) series are managed redundant ring Ethernet switches with 16xGigabit
combo ports and 8x100/1000Base-X SFP ports. With complete support of Ethernet
Redundancy protocol, O-Ring (recovery time < 20ms over 250 units of connection) and
MSTP/RSTP/STP (IEEE IEEE 802.1s/w/D) can protect your mission-critical applications from
network interruptions or temporary malfunctions with its fast recovery technology. ORing’s
thunder switch series provide advanced and IP-based bandwidth management which can limit
the maximum bandwidth for each IP device. The user can configure IP camera and NVR with
more bandwidth and limit other device bandwidth. ORing’s Thunder switch series also
support application-based QoS. Application-based QoS can set highest priority for data
stream according to TCP/UDP port number. And all functions of RGS-7168GCP(-E) series can
also be managed centralized and convenient by Open-Vision v3.0 or above, as well as the
Web-based interface, Telnet and console (CLI) configuration. Therefore, the switch is one of
the most reliable choice for highly-managed and Gigabit Fiber Ethernet application.

4.1.1 About Web-based Management
An embedded HTML web site resides in flash memory on the CPU board. It contains
advanced management features and allows you to manage the switch from anywhere on the
network through a standard web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management function supports Internet Explorer 5.0 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.
Note: By default, IE5.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. You need to explicitly modify
the browser setting in order to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
