3.1 Web Management Home Overview
The Information of Page Layout
Top side
It shows the front panel of the switch. In the front panel, the linked ports will display green; as to
the ports, which are link off, they will be dark. For the optional modules, the slot will show only a
cover plate if no module exists and will show a module if a module is present. The image of
module depends on the one you inserted. The same, if disconnected, the port will show just dark,
if linked, green.
Left side
The main menu tree for web is listed in the page. According to the function name in boldface, all
functions can be divided into three parts, including Configuration, Monitoring and Maintenance.
The functions of each folder are described in its corresponding section respectively. The function
names in normal type are the sub-functions. When clicking it, the function is performed.
Right side
This area is used for detailed configuration and status.
The following list is the main function tree for web user interface.

3.2 Configuration
Each of them will be described in detail in the following sections.

www.versitron.com 18 SG72460M
3.2.1 System Configuration
The switch supports manual IP address setting. When the IP address is changed, you must reboot
the switch to have the setting taken effect and use the new IP to browse for web management.
Parameter description:
MAC Address It is the Ethernet MAC address of the management agent in this switch.
Firmware Version The firmware version of this switch.
Hardware Version The hardware version of this switch.
Serial Number The serial number is assigned by the manufacturer.
IP Address Users can configure the IP settings and fill in new values. Default:
192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask Subnet mask is used to set the subnet mask value. Default:
255.255.255.0
Default Gateway Set an IP address for a gateway to handle those packets that do not meet
the routing rules predefined in the device. Default: 192.168.1.254
System Name Set a special name for this switch. Up to 16 characters are allowed in
this parameter. Any alphanumeric character and null are acceptable.
Default: Giga Switch
Password Set a password for this switch. Up to 16 characters are allowed in this
parameter. Any alphanumeric character is acceptable. Default: admin
Auto Logout Timer Set the auto-logout timer. The valid value is 0 ~ 60 in the unit of minute
and a decimal point is not allowed. The value 0 means auto-logout
timer is disabled. Default: 0

www.versitron.com 19 SG72460M
3.2.2 Ports Configuration
Parameter description:
Mode Set the speed and duplex of the port. Speed/Duplex is comprised of the
combination of speed mode, 10/100/1000Mbps, and duplex mode, full duplex
and half duplex. In Auto Speed mode, no default value. In Forced mode,
default value depends on your setting.
Flow Control There are two modes to choose in flow control, including Enable and Disable.
If flow control is set Enable, both parties can send PAUSE frame to the
transmitting device(s) if the receiving port is too busy to handle. When it is
set Disable, there will be no flow control in the port. It drops the packet if too
much to handle. Default: Enable

www.versitron.com 20 SG72460M
3.2.3 VLAN Mode Configuration
The switch supports Port-based VLAN and 802.1Q Tag-based VLAN. Support 24 active VLANs
and VLAN ID 1~4094.
Parameter description:
VLAN Mode Disable -Stop VLAN function on the switch. In this mode, no VLAN is
applied to the switch. This is the default setting.
Port-based -Port-based VLAN is defined by port. No filtering criterion
applies in port-based VLAN. The only criterion is the physical port you
connect to.
Tag-based -Tag-based VLAN identifies its member by VID. This is quite
different from port-based VLAN. Each tag-based VLAN you built up must be
assigned VLAN name and VLAN ID. Valid VLAN ID is 1-4094.
Metro Mode -The Metro Mode is a quick configuration VLAN environment
method on Port-based VLAN. It will create 23 or 24 Port-based VLAN
groups.
Up-link Port This function is enabled only when metro mode is chosen in VLAN mode.
23 -Except Port 23, each port of the switch cannot transmit packets with each
other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 23, thus, total 23 groups
consisting of 2 members are formed.
24 -Except Port 24, each port of the switch cannot transmit packets with each
other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 24, thus, total 23 groups
consisting of 2 members are formed.
23&24 -Except Port 23 and Port 24, each port of the switch cannot transmit
packets with each other. Each port groups a VLAN with Port 23 and Port 24,
thus, total 22 groups consisting of 3 members are formed.
This switch can support up to maximal 24 port-based VLAN groups or 24 Tag VLAN groups.
Management Interface:
State It works when the tag-based mode is chosen. When this function is enabled, only the
tagged packets with this VID can manage the switch.
VID Valid range 1~4094.
