Setting a Default Gateway

The default gateway parameter defines the IP address of a router or other

network device to which IP packets are to be sent if destined for a subnet
outside of that in which the switch is operating. This parameter must be

set if you are attempting to manage the switch using Digital Networks

WebView from a remote network or across the Internet.

1. Starting at the Main Menu of the console user interface, select

Management Setup Menu / Network Configuration / IP Configuration.

2. Select Gateway IP from the menu and enter the router IP address.

Press .

Setting the Administrator Password

Management access to the switch using Digital Networks WebView is

restricted based on the an administrator password. Administrators have
read/write access for parameters governing the switch. You should

therefore assign a password to the default administrator (User Name:

admin) as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. (If for some
reason your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the system’s

configuration program, contact Digital Networks Technical Support for

assistance.)

1. Starting at the Main Menu of the console user interface, select

Management Setup Menu / Console Login Configuration.

2. Move to the Password field for the User Name “admin” in this menu,

and enter the password. Press .

Setting Trap Destinations

If you wish to record SNMP traps, or events, generated by the switch, you

must configure the destination for IP Trap Managers. A trap destination is
the IP address of the system being used to manage the device, in this

case the IP address of the computer system on which Digital Networks

WebView is being run.

1. Starting at the Main Menu of the console user interface, select

Management Setup Menu / SNMP Configuration / IP Trap Managers.

2. Select an entry for an IP Trap Manager from the menu, then enter the

IP address and community name.

3. Move to the Status field, and use the Space bar to select ENABLED.

4. Press .
