3. Featured Functions

In this chapter, we explain how to access the Weidmüller Switch’s various configuration, monitoring,

and administration functions. These functions can be accessed by serial, Telnet, or Web console.

The serial console can be used if you do not know the Weidmüller Switch’s IP address and requires

that you connect the Weidmüller switch to a PC´s COM port. The Telnet and web consoles can be

opened over an Ethernet LAN or the Internet.

The web console is the most user-friendly interface for configuring a Weidmüller Switch.

In this chapteIn this document we will use the Web interface for feature description. There are only a

few differences between the web console, serial console, and Telnet console.
