Introduction
All software functions of the DES-3010F/DES-3010FL/DES-3010G/DES-3016/DES-3018/DES-3026
switch can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded web-based (HTML) interface. The
Switch can be managed from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser such as
Netscape Navigator/Communicator, Mozilla or Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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.
Logging on to the Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser you have installed on your computer and enter 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 for the Switch is 10.90.90.90.
Once the IP address has been entered, the management module's user authentication window will be
presented, as seen below.
