Configuration Using a Web Browser
The EDS’s web browser interface provides a convenient way to modify the switch’s configuration
and access the built-in monitoring and network administration functions. The recommended web
browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 with JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed.
NOTE
To use the EDS’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the same
LAN as the EDS, you must make sure that the PC host and the EDS are on the same logical sub
network.
NOTE
If the EDS is configured for other VLAN settings, you must make sure your PC host is on the
management VLAN.
NOTE
Before accessing the EDS’s web browser interface, first connect one of the EDS’s RJ45 Ethernet
ports to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet NIC. You can establish a
connection with either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable. If you have difficulty
connecting, refer to the Auto MDI/MDI-X Connection section from the Hardware installation
Guide for more information about the different types of Ethernet cables and ports.
