Configuration Using the Web User Interface

The ES7528 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:

Out-band management means that you configure the ES7528 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES7528 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES7528. The CLI and Telnet are
discussed in

Configuration Using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

on Page 137.

In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES7528 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES7528 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES7528 provides HTTP web user interface (

Page 32

) and secure HTTPS web

user interface (

Page 34

) for web management.
