24-Port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with Webview and Power over Ethernet
HTTPS Settings
You can configure the switch to enable the Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) over the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL), providing secure access (that is, an encrypted connection) to the switch’s web interface.
Mark the HTTPS Status checkbox to enable HTTPS and specify the port number.
Click Submit to save the changes.
System Password
The switch supports up to 16 user names and passwords for management access (console and web interfaces).
Each user account has an associated access level; either Normal or Privileged. A Normal level user has only read
access for most configuration parameters. However, a Privileged user has write access for all parameters
governing the switch. The default Normal user name is “guest” with the password "guest." The default
Privileged user name is “admin” with no password. You should therefore assign a new password for the "admin"
user account or create new Privileged user accounts, and store them in a safe place. Both the default "admin"
and "guest" user accounts can be deleted from the system.
To configure a new user account, enter the user name, access level, and password - up to eight characters long
- and click
Add. To change the password for a specific user, enter the user name and new password, confirm the
password by entering it again. Up to 16 user accounts can be configured on this switch.
