Chapter 5: Using the Web-based Utility for Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes the Web-based Utilities for the 16- and 24-Port Switches, which are identical except for
two screens. The Utility for the 24-Port Switch includes two additional webpages, the Security - Management
Configuration screen, as well as the Security - TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access Control System)
screen.
Accessing the Web-based Utility
Open your web browser and enter 192.168.1.254 into the Address field. Press the Enter key and the login
screen will appear. The first time you open the Web-based Utility, enter admin in the User Name field, and leave
the Password field blank. Click the OK button. You can set a password later from the System Password screen.
The first screen that appears is the System Description screen. This allows you to access six main tabs: Sys. Info.
(System Information), IP Conf. (Configuration), Switch Conf. (Configuration), QoS (Quality of Service), Security,
SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol), Statistics, Logs, Maintenance, and Help. Click one of the main tabs to view
additional tabs.
At the top of each screen is a picture of the 16- or 24-Port Switch. The LEDs display status information about their
corresponding ports. A green LED indicates a connection, while a blue LED indicates no connection. When you
click a port’s LED, the statistics for that port are displayed.
Sys. Info. (System Information) Tab - System Description
The System Description screen lets you enter general information about the Switch.
Model Name. This is the model number and name of the Switch.
System Name. Enter a name for the Switch.
System Location. Describe the location of the Switch.
