Chapter 1 Operation of Web-based Management
Initial
Configuration
IMPORTANT:
1. It is recommended to use IE10 or IE11 to open a web console with the
PoE switch.
2. This PoE switch is specifically designed for surveillance applications. It
comes with an integrated Surveillance interface for ease of
configuration. The interface is accessed through a tabbed menu, and
the configuration changes made in its window have a higher priority
than those in the Switch configuration menus.
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the switch through
the web user interface. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including
MIBs status, each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation
status, multicast traffic, VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record
and so on.
The default values of the AW-GEV series switches are listed in the table
below:
IP Address
DHCP client
Subnet
Mask
255.255.255.0
Default
Gateway
N/A
Username
admin
Password
admin
You can find the PoE switch using VIVOTEK’s IW2 utility. If network address conflicts
occur, use this utility to locate the PoE switch.

2
If you enabled the onboard DHCP server on the PoE switch, you can browse
it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser,
it will display the following screen and ask you to enter a username and
password in order to login and access authentication.
The default username is “admin”and password is admin. For the first time
to use, please enter the default username and password, and then click the
<Login> button. The login process now is completed. In this login menu,
you have to input the complete username and password respectively, the
AW-GEV switch will not give you a shortcut to username automatically. This
looks inconvenient, but safer.
The AW-GEV switch allows two or more users to manage the switch using
the administrator’s identity. The configuration changes made will take effect
depending on who made the last configuration change.
This chapter instructs you how to configure and manage the AW-GEV switch
through the web user interface. With this facility, you can easily access and monitor
through any one port of the switch all the status of the switch, including MIBs status,
each port activity, Spanning tree status, port aggregation status, multicast traffic,
VLAN and priority status, even illegal access record and so on.
After the AW-GEV switch has been finished configuration it interface, you can browse
it. For instance, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address row in a browser, it will display
the following screen and ask you inputting username and password in order to login
and access authentication.
If you double-click on the entry found on the
IW2 utility, an IE console will be opened. If
you prefer using Firefox or Google Chrome,
you can manually enter the IP address in
your browser’s URL field.

2
A startup wizard page will prompt the first time you access the switch. The first step is to
configure a password for access security.
If necessary, configure a static IP for the switch. Click Next to proceed.

2
You can then configuration the data and time setting for the switch either by assigning
a network time server or manually enter the values using the calendar.
You should enter additional information such as system contact and system location.
When done, click the Apply button.
The default username is “admin” and password is empty. For the first time to use,
please enter the default username and password, and then click the <Login> button.
The login process now is completed. In this login menu, you have to input the
complete username and password respectively, the AW-GEV switch will not give you a
shortcut to username automatically. This looks inconvenient, but safer.
The AW-GEV switch allows two or more users using administrator’s identity to
manage this switch, which administrator to do the last setting, it will be an available
configuration to effect the system.
NOTE:
When you login the Switch WEB page to manage. You must first type the
Username of the admin. Password was blank, so when you type after the
end Username, please press enter. Management page to enter WEB.
When you login AW-GEV series switch Web UI management, you can use
both ipv4 ipv6 login to manage
To optimize the display effect, we recommend you use Microsoft IE 6.0
above, Netscape V7.1 above or Firefox V1.00 above and have the resolution
1024x768. The switch supported neutral web browser interface
NOTE:
AS AW-GEV switch the function enable dhcp, so If you do not have DHCP
server to provide ip addresses to the switch, the Switch default ip
192.168.1.1

The first DNS server offered from a DHCP lease to a DHCP-enabled interface will be
used.
IP Interfaces
Delete :
Select this option to delete an existing IP interface.
VLAN :
The VLAN associated with the IP interface. Only ports in this VLAN will be able to access the
IP interface. This field is only available for input when creating an new interface.
IPv4 DHCP Enabled :
Enable the DHCP client by checking this box. If this option is enabled, the system will
configure the IPv4 address and mask of the interface using the DHCP protocol. The DHCP
client will announce the configured System Name as hostname to provide DNS lookup.
IPv4 DHCP Fallback Timeout :
The number of seconds for trying to obtain a DHCP lease. After this period expires, a
configured IPv4 address will be used as IPv4 interface address. A value of zero disables the

11
fallback mechanism, such that DHCP will keep retrying until a valid lease is obtained. Legal
values are 0 to 4294967295 seconds.
IPv4 DHCP Current Lease :
For DHCP interfaces with an active lease, this column show the current interface address, as
provided by the DHCP server.
IPv4 Address :
The IPv4 address of the interface in dotted decimal notation.
If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may also be left blank if IPv4 operation
on the interface is not desired.
IPv4 Mask :
The IPv4 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 0 and 30
bits for a IPv4 address.
If DHCP is enabled, this field is not used. The field may also be left blank if IPv4 operation
on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Address :
The IPv6 address of the interface. A IPv6 address is in 128-bit records represented as eight
fields of up to four hexadecimal digits with a colon separating each field (:). For example,
fe80::215:c5ff:fe03:4dc7. The symbol :: is a special syntax that can be used as a shorthand
way of representing multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous zeros; but it can appear only once.
It can also represent a legally valid IPv4 address. For example, ::192.1.2.34.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IPv6 Mask :
The IPv6 network mask, in number of bits (prefix length). Valid values are between 1 and
128 bits for a IPv6 address.
The field may be left blank if IPv6 operation on the interface is not desired.
IP Routes
Delete :
Select this option to delete an existing IP route.
Network :
The destination IP network or host address of this route. Valid format is dotted decimal
notationor a valid IPv6 notation. A default route can use the value 0.0.0.0or IPv6 :: notation.
Mask Length :
The destination IP network or host mask, in number of bits (prefix length). It defines how
much of a network address that must match, in order to qualify for this route. Valid values
are between 0 and 32 bits respectively 128 for IPv6 routes. Only a default route will have a
mask length of 0 (as it will match anything).
Gateway :
The IP address of the IP gateway. Valid format is dotted decimal notationor a valid IPv6
notation. Gateway and Network must be of the same type.
Next Hop VLAN (Only for IPv6) :
The VLAN ID (VID) of the specific IPv6 interface associated with the gateway.
The given VID ranges from 1 to 4094 and will be effective only when the corresponding
IPv6 interface is valid.
If the IPv6 gateway address is link-local, it must specify the next hop VLAN for the gateway.
If the IPv6 gateway address is not link-local, system ignores the next hop VLAN for the
gateway.
