D-Link DGS-1224T [29/59] Web based utility

Web-based Utility

The DGS-1224T Web-Smart Switch has a web browser GUI interface

for configuring the Switch through a web browser. To see the list of

web browsers the Web-based Utility supports, see Supported web

browsers on page 20. A network administrator can manage, control

and monitor the Switch from a PC on the local LAN. This section

describes how to operate the functions found in the Web-based Utility.

Before beginning to configure the Web-Smart Switch through a web

browser over an Ethernet connection, the PC used to manage the

Switch must reside on the same the IP network. By default, the Switch

automatically obtains an IP address from a DHCP Server. The admin

configuring the Switch must check the LAN’s DHCP Server to

identify the IP Address assigned to the Switch. The default IP address

is 192.168.0.1 if the Switch cannot successfully obtain an IP address

from a DHCP Server. If the DHCP assigned IP address of the Web-

Smart Switch is 192.168.0.1, then the managing PC should use

192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and 254) as its IP address,

with a subnet mask also being the same (255.255.255.0 if not assigned

by a DHCP Server). To begin, open a supported web browser and

enter the IP address of the Switch (ex http://192.168.0.1).

Alternatively, through the SmartConsole Utility, when the Switch is

discovered, select the device shown in the Monitor List of the

SmartConsole Utility to open the device in a web browser.
