4 Feature Configuration
This chapter explains how to configure software features. There are four ways to
access the switch: Serial console, Telnet/SSH, Web browser and SNMP.
The Industrial Managed Switch provides both in-band and out-band configuration
methods. You can configure the switch via RS232 console cable if you don’t
attach your admin PC to your network, or if you lose the network connection to
your Switch. This is so-called out-band management. It wouldn’t be affected by
the network performance.
The in-band management means you can remotely manage the switch via the
network. You can choose Telnet or Web-based management. You just need to
know the device’s IP address. Then you can remotely connect to its embedded
HTML web pages or Telnet console.
Westermo web management page is developed by JAVA. It allows you to use a
standard web-browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mozilla, to
configure and interrogate the switch from anywhere on the network.
Note: IE 5.0 or later versions do not allow Java applets to open sockets by default.
Users have to directly modify the browser settings to selectively enable Java
applets to use network ports.
