SmartPanel
Introduction
The 1Gb Intelligent L2 Switch provides two switch modes: The conventional L2 switch mode, and SmartPanel
mode. The switch can store up to two different software image, called image1 and image2. Normally, the
conventional L2 switch software image is stored in image1, and the SmartPanel software is stored in image2. You
can select which software image (image1 or image2) you want to run in switch memory. By default, the switch
software is loaded from image1. To run the SmartPanel software, you need to change a software image to image2
and reboot the switch. See additional references for configuration to select a software image.
This guide explains how to configure the switch in running the SmartPanel software. The SmartPanel provides a
simple Ethernet interface option for connecting to the network infrastructure. The number and type of configuration
options on the SmartPanel are restricted to reduce the initial setup complexity and to minimize the impact on
upstream networking devices.
