CONFIGURATION
The AnyWhere Interface Switch(AIS) is configured using a standard web browser (Internet
Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome). Enter the AIS’s IP address in the Address/ URL bar, typically
located at the top of the web browser page, to access the AIS’s Home Page. Use the links
on the left side of the Home Page to access the desired configuration web page.
All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile storage in the AIS. Settings are retained
when power is removed from the AIS.
Settings may be uploaded to a computer as a configuration file (.dnf) for archiving.
Configuration files may be downloaded from a computer into the AIS to restore a saved
configuration. A configuration file contains all of the AIS’s configurations except IP address,
subnet mask, and gateway address. The AIS does not support partial configuration upload or
download. The configuration file is a not a text formatted file. It can not be viewed or
modified with a text editor.
To access the System Configuration web page, use the following log-on when prompted.
