4.4.2 User Interface Functions

4.4.2.1 Functions During the Boot Process After a Restart

If you open the user interface in the first five seconds immediately after an MMS restart,

you have the option of triggering a firmware update. Since the actual switch firmware is not

yet started at this stage, even in the event of an error, e.g., if the firmware on the device is

faulty, this firmware can still be updated (see "Starting With Faulty Software (Firmware)"

on page 4-120).

4.4.2.2 Functions During Operation

The following functions are available in the user interface:

– Setting IP parameters

– Selecting the addressing mechanism

– Resetting to the default settings

– Activating/deactivating the web server, the Telnet function, and SNMP

– Activating/deactivating port security, access control for web

– Switching the VLAN mode

– Switching the operating mode

– Activating/deactivating the RSTP redundancy mechanism

– Reset

The activation/deactivation of the web server or Telnet function only takes effect after a

"SAVE" and subsequent restart.

All settings are transferred using "APPLY", but are not saved permanently. Use the

"SAVE" function to save the active configuration settings permanently.
