Chapter 4 Menu-Driven Console Management

The Switch provides a menu-driven console interface for configuration purposes. The Switch can be

configured either locally through its RS-232 port or remotely via a Telnet session. This chapter

describes how to configure the Switch using its menu-driven console. The figures in this chapter will

base on WGSW-2402A, for WGSW-404, however, the setup steps are the same.

4.1 Logging on to the Switch

Enter the console interface factory default console name “admin” without password (or enter a

user-defined pass-word if you changed the factory default password). The Switch Management screen

in Figure 4-1 appears, with the Basic option highlighted.

Note:

Only one console and three telnet-users can log on to the Switch concurrently. However, it is

not recommended that multiple users modify the configuration at the same time.
