Configuration Using the Web User Interface
The ES8510 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES8510 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES8510 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES8510. The CLI and Telnet are
discussed in
Configuration Using the Command Line Interface (CLI) on Page 125.
• In-band management means that you connect remotely using the ES8510 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES8510 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES8510 provides HTTP web user interface (
Page 32 ) and secure HTTPS web
user interface ( Page 34 ) for web management.

1. If you have not done so, install the hardware, see Hardware Installation on Page 9.
2. If you are planning on using in-band management, you need to program the ES8510 IP address to meet
your network requirements. The easiest way to configure the IP address is using a Windows system and
