Introduction

Most software functions of the DGS-1510/ME Series switches can be managed, configured and monitored via the

embedded web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a

standard browser. The browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using

the HTTP protocol.

The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same

internal switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same

as those found in the console program.

To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you

have defined for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where

the numbers 123 represent the IP address of the Switch.

NOTE: The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.

This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.

Leave both the User Name field and the Password field blank and click OK. This will open the Web-based user

interface. The Switch management features available in the web-based manager are explained below.
