CHAPTER 1 The Introduction
Web Browser
You can log into the Web Management Switch through a Web browser and manage and maintain the
switch intuitively by interacting with the built-in Web server. The home page is displayed as shown
below. It displays the Main Menu on the left side of the screen and an image of the front panel on the
right side. The Main Menu is used to navigate to other menus, and display configuration parameters
and statistics.

Logging In
Please follow the steps to configure this Web Smart switch. The configure procedure is as follows:
Step 1: Use Ethernet Category 5 cable to connect this switch to your PC.
Step 2: Check that your PC has an IP address on the same subnet as the switch. For example, the PC
and the switch are on the same subnet if they both have addresses that start 192.168.1.x. The
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Step 3: Open the browser (like Microsoft Internet Explorer) and go to http:// 192.168.1.1, which is
the switch address, for example. If your PC is properly configured, you will see the login
page like below:
Figure 2: Login Popping Up Window
NOTE: If you do not see the login page, check step 1 & 2.
Step 4: Please key in both the default user name “admin” and the password “admin” to pass the
authentication. After the authentication procedure, the switch can be used now, as the web
home page appears as follows:

IPv6 Address Setting
IPv6 is an Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworking and provides end-to-end
datagram transmission across multiple IP networks. IPv6 includes two distinct address types; link-local
unicast and global unicast.

Figure 6: IPv6 Address Setting
Hint§
The following parameters are displayed on the IPv6 Address Setting page:
■Auto Configuration—Enables stateless auto configuration of IPv6 addresses on the interface and
enables IPv6 functionality on the interface.
■IPv6 Address—Manually sets up a global unicast address by specifying the full address and network
prefix length (in the Prefix field).
■Prefix Length—Defines the prefix length as a decimal value indicating how many contiguous bits
(starting at the left) of the address comprise the prefix; that is, the network portion of the address.
■Router—Sets up the IPv6 address of the default next hop router. An IPv6 default gateway must be
defined if the management station is located in a different IPv6 segment. An IPv6 default gateway can
only be successfully set when a network interface that directly connects to the gateway has been
configured on the switch.
