Speed/Duplex. Allows manual selection of port speed and duplex mode (that is, with auto-negotiation disabled).

Flow Control. Allows automatic or manual selection of flow control.

PoE Configuration

On the

Switch Main Menu

screen, select

PoE Configuration

and press the

Enter

key if you want to configure the

Switch’s ports.

PoE Main Menu

The PoE Main Menu screen displays three menu choices: System PoE Configuration, Port PoE Status, and Port

PoE Configuration

System PoE Configuration

The

Power Configuration

screen allows you to set the PoE power allocation from the Switch to connected devices.

The Switch’s power management enables total Switch power and individual port power to be controlled within a

configured power budget. Port power can be automatically turned on and off for connected devices, and a per-

port power priority can be set so that the Switch never exceeds its allocated power budget. When a device is

connected to a port, its power requirements are detected by the Switch before power is supplied. If the power

required by a device exceeds the power budget of the port or the whole Switch, power is not supplied

Port PoE Status

The

Power Port Status

screen allows you to view the current PoE settings for each port on the Switch.

Ports can be set to one of three power priority levels: critical, high, or low. To control the power supply within the

Switch’s budget, ports set at critical or high priority have power enabled in preference to those ports set at low

priority. For example, when a device is connected to a port set to critical priority, the Switch supplies the required

power, if necessary by dropping power to ports set for a lower priority. If power is dropped to some low-priority

Overview

24-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Switch with Webview and PoE

Chapter 5: Using the Web-based Utility for Configuration

Overview

This chapter describes the features included in the Web-based Utility. All of the features shown in this chapter,

unless specifically identified, are included in the all of Fast Ethernet switches. Additional features for specific

switches are noted.

Accessing the Web-based Utility

Open your web browser and enter

192.168.1.254

into the

Address

field. Press the

Enter

key and the login

screen will appear.

The first time you open the Web-based Utility, enter

admin

in the

User Name

field, and leave the

Password

field

blank. Click the

OK

button. For security purposes, it is recommended that later you set a password from the

System Password

screen.

The first screen that appears is the

Setup Summary

screen. Twelve main tabs are accessible from the Web-based

Utility: Setup, Port Management, VLAN Management, Statistics, ACL, Security, QoS (Quality of Service), Spanning

Tree, Multicast, SNMP, Admin, and Logout. Click one of the main tabs to view additional tabs.

The LEDs on the Setup Summary screen display status information about their corresponding ports. A green

LED indicates a connection, while a grey LED indicates no connection. An orange LED indicates the port has

been closed down by the administrator. When you click a port’s LED, the statistics for that port are displayed.

Figure 5-1: Login Screen

NOTE:

The LEDs displayed in the Web-based Utility are not the same as the LEDs on the front panel

of the Switch. The front panel LEDs display different status information, which is described in

Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Switch

.

NOTE:

The Web-based Utility is optimized for viewing with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

Internet Explorer version 5.5 or above is recommended.

NOTE:

The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.254. If you have modified this address,

enter the correct IP address. The device should be on the same subnet as the management station

used to configure the device.

NOTE:

After configuring values using the Web-based

Utility, you may be required to refresh the page to see

the updated configuration.
