This chapter explains how to access the NPort S8000’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration
functions. There are three ways to access these functions: RS-232 console, Telnet console, and web browser.
The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the NPort S8000 to
a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the NPort S8000’s IP address. The Telnet console and web
browser connection methods can be used to access the NPort S8000 over an Ethernet LAN, or over the
Internet.
The Web Console is the most user-friendly way to configure the NPort S8000. In this chapter, we use the Web
Console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the Web Console, Serial
Console, and Telnet Console.
