RocketLinx ES9528 and ES9528-XT User Guide: 2000508 Rev. G Configuration Overview - 29
Configuration Using the Web User Interface
The ES9528 provides in-band and out-band configuration methods:
• Out-band management means that you configure the ES9528 using the RS-232 console cable and the
Command Line Interface (CLI) to access the ES9528 without attaching an admin PC to the network. You
can use out-band management if you lose the network connection to the ES9528. 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 ES9528 IP address through the
network. You can remotely connect with the ES9528 embedded Java applet web user interface or a Telnet
console and the CLI. The ES9528 provides HTTP web user interface (
Page 30 ) and secure HTTPS web
user interface ( Page 32 ) for web management.
