1Introduction
The manual for Web User Interface (Web UI) targets engineers or
professionals who are familiar with the principle of Ethernet and computer
networking. This document describes software features available in the
Web UI of switches of this series. The switches are equipped with an
identical set of software features available in the Web UI, and will be
referred to as the “switch” in this document.
Refer to the instruction found on our website (Panasonic Life Solutions
Networks) or the manual of our products regarding the name of each part
of them, the installation-method, and the separately sold option.
1.1 Related Documentation
Not only Web UI, but CLI (Command Line Interface) can be used for
configuring and managing the switch. See the “CLI Reference” manual for
details on CLI.

2.1 Connecting to the Web UI
You can directly or indirectly access the Web UI of a switch from any
networking nodes, which are connected to an Ethernet port, by using the
standard web browser. Implement the additional security settings on the
Web UI to control the access to the switch. By default, an IPv4 address of
the switch is set to 0.0.0.0. Use CLI from a console port to configure the
IPv4 address of the switch, first. Refer to “CLI reference manual” for
details. Next, launch the Web browser. Enter the IPv4 address of the
switch on the address bar of Uniform Resource Locator (URL), and then
press Enter.
Figure 2-1 Enter IPv4 Address
By default, you can enter “manager” in the spaces provided for a user-
name and a password, as illustrated in the figure below. Then click the
Log-in button.

After logging in the screen above, you can access the Web UI as below.

The Web UI is divided into two sections (frame A and B) as illustrated in
the figure below.

All the features available in the Web UI of the switch are categorized into
folders in frame A above. Click on a folder in the frame A (e.g. system),
and then click on a feature link (e.g. system information settings) to access
the configuration window in the frame B. Next, implement the settings

Choose the port you use.
Selecting a Media Choose a media type for ports. The options available are
Automatic,RJ45 and SFP. SFP stands for Small Form-
Factor Pluggable.
Media Type Choose a media type for ports. The options available are
RJ45 and SFP.
State This parameter enables or disables a physical port.

MDIX Choose an object of MDIX (Medium Dependent
Interface Crossover). The options available are as
follows.
•Auto - This value automatically senses an optimum
type of cables.
•Normal - Choose this for normal cables. Selecting it
makes a port to become the MDIX mode, and that
allows a straight-through cable to connect to a PC
LAN adapter. Or, employ a cross-over cable to
connect it to a port of a different switch (MDI
mode).
•Cross - Choose this for employing a cross-over cable.
Selecting this option allows a port to become the
MDI mode, and that allows a straight-cable to
connect to a port of the different switch (MDIX
mode).
Flow Control Set the flow control to ON or OFF. On the port where it
is set to full duplex, use the flow control of 802.3x, and
use the one (of two), which is automatically selected on
an Automatic port.
Duplex Choose the duplex mode you use. The options available
are Automatic and Full.
Speed Choose the option of a port speed. This option allows
you to implement the forced settings manually for the
connection-speed on the port, which is selected for
connecting with the speed specified. If Master
Configurations are implemented, you can advertise
the functions, which are related to types of duplex
communication, the speed and physical layer, on ports.
Also, this action determines the relationship between a
master and a slave on the joint where two physical
layers exist (or contact each other). The relationship is
necessary for establishing a timing-control between the
two physical layers above. The timing-control is
configured on a physical layer of the master by a local
source. A loop timing is used for the slave settings. In
this case, the timing is obtained from the data stream
received from the master. If one connection is set to the
master, the other connection must be set to the slave. If
other configurations are implemented, the condition of
a “link-down” occurs on both ports.

Speed The following options are available to choose.
•Automatic - In the case of a copper-port, an auto
negotiation starts, and then it allows the speed and
flow control to negotiate with its link-partner. In the
case of fiber-ports, the auto negotiation starts, and
then it allows the clock and full-control to negotiate
with its link-partner.
•10M - This value sets the port speed to 10 Mbps,
forcefully. This option is available for 10 Mbps
copper-cable connection, only.
•100M - This value sets to the port speed to
100Mbps, forcefully. This option is available for
100Mbps copper-cable connection, only.
•1000M - This value sets the port speed to 1Gbps,
forcefully. This option is available for 1Gbps fiber-
connection, only.
•1000M Master - This value sets the port speed to
1Gbps forcefully, and functions as the master, and
facilitates the timing of an operation for sending and
receiving. This option is available for 1Gbps copper-
cable connection, only.
•1000M Slave - This value sets the port speed to
1Gbps forcefully, and also functions as the slave to
facilitate the timing of an operation for sending and
receiving. This option is only available for 1Gbps
copper-cable connection.
Capability Advertised If you set the Speed to Auto, these functions are
advertised during the Auto Negotiation.
