Basic Configuration Chapter 1
Set the IP Address with
BOOTP The 1783-EMS switch ships with the BOOTP client enabled by default. To
assign an address, use this procedure.
1. Put the switch on a network with a BOOTP server.
2. Cycle power to the switch.
The 1783-EMS switch attempts to obtain an IP address several times from
the server before timing out and defaulting to the factory preset address of
192.168.1.1.
Set Security We recommend changing the administrator and read-only password before you
place the switch in service.
The administrator password is used for the management interface (HTTP
session), Telnet, and the FTP interface (used to upgrade the firmware). The user
name is verified for the FTP session only. The user name for the HTTP session is
not checked (therefore can be anything). The read-only password is used for
read-only access to the management interface (HTTP session).
Use these steps to change your administrative or read-only user name and
password.
1. From the navigation pane, expand the Basic Configuration folder and
select Set Security to display the Set Security tab.
IMPORTANT The MAC address of the switch is on the home page.
192.168.1.1 could interfere with another device on the network.
