NPort 5600-8-DT User’s Manual Using the Web Console
7-2
Overview
The NPort can be configured from anywhere on the network through its web console. Simply point
the browser to the device server’s IP address to open the web console. Network settings, operation
mode, and other items can all be modified through the browser. This is a handy option for
configuration if you cannot or do not wish to install NPort Administrator.
ATTENTION
All device server settings can be accessed using the web console. However, certain functions
such as port monitoring or configuration export are only available through NPort Administrator.
Please refer to Chapter 8 for more details on using NPort Administrator.
