This section introduces the configuration and functions of the Web-Based management.
About Web-based Management
The WGS3 Layer 3 Switch offers management features that allow users to manage the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch from anywhere
on the network through a standard browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.
The Web-Based Management supports Internet Explorer 6.0. It is based on Java Applets with an aim to reduce network
bandwidth consumption, enhance access speed and present an easy viewing screen.
By default, IE6.0 or later version does not allow Java Applets to open sockets. The user has to
explicitly modify the browser setting to enable Java Applets to use network ports.
The WGS3 Layer 3 Switch can be configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the manager PC must be set on same
the IP subnet address with the WGS3 Layer 3 Switch.
For example, if you have changed the default IP address of the Switch to 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 via
console, then the manager PC should be set at 192.168.1.x (where x is a number between 2 and 253) with subnet mask
255.255.255.0. Or you can use the factory default IP address 192.168.1.254 to do the relative configuration on manager PC.
