4. Web Management
4.2 Remote Management
In this section, you will learn how to setup your computer and the router for remote web
management. Remote management allows MIS to manage a switch from outside of the
switch’s IP domain or from Internet. Depending on the type of Internet connection you have,
there are two ways to setup the switch to be available through Internet.
Direct Connection to Internet
If you have a fixed IP xDSL account or cable modem account, and there is no router in the
network, you can connect your switch directly to Internet via xDSL modem/Cable Modem.
However, this method is not recommended as the LAN will be directly exposed to the
Internet.
 Fixed IP: If your ISP has assigned you a fixed IP. Please go to the Switch’s IP
configuration and enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway information offered
by your ISP. If your ADSL connection is PPPoE or PPTP type, you have to connect
through a router for remote management.
 Cable Modem: If your Cable service provider uses DHCP for IP assignment, please
turn on the DHCP function under IP configuration. Make sure there is no DHCP server
in the network. Then the Cable provider will assign the switch with a IP and Gateway.
Go to the console port management to find out what IP has been assigned to the
switch.
When the configuration is finished, the Remote PC can access the switch by typing the
switch’s IP address on the web browser.
