Remote Management Connection
The AT-S79 management software has a web browser interface that you
can use to manage an AT-GS950/16 or AT-GS950/24 Smart Switch from
any management station on your network that has a web browser
application. This is referred to as a remote connection.
The switch must have an IP address in order for you to manage it remotely
with a web browser. You can assign the switch an IP address manually or
you can activate the DHCP client so that the switch automatically obtains
its IP configuration from a DHCP server on the network. The initial
assignment of an IP address on a switch must be made through a local
connection to the unit.
For instructions on how to start a remote management session, refer to
“Establishing a Remote Connection to Use the Web Browser Interface” on
page 220.
Note
In order to remotely manage a switch using a web browser, the
remote management station must be a member of the switch’s
Default VLAN. The switch processes remote management packets
only when they are received on an untagged port of the Default
VLAN.
Note
The AT-S79 management software does not support remote
management with the Telnet application protocol.
