DGS-3600 Series switches can be managed, configured and monitored via the embedded
Web-based (HTML) interface. Manage the Switch from remote stations anywhere on the network through a standard browser. The
browser acts as a universal access tool and can communicate directly with the Switch using the HTTP protocol.
The Web-based management module and the Console program (and Telnet) are different ways to access the same internal
switching software and configure it. Thus, all settings encountered in web-based management are the same as those found in the
console program.
Logging in to the Web Manager
To begin managing the Switch, simply run the browser installed on your computer and point it to the IP address you have defined
for the device. The URL in the address bar should read something like: http://123.123.123.123, where the numbers 123 represent
the IP address of the Switch.
NOTE:
The factory default IP address is 10.90.90.90.
This opens the management module's user authentication window, as seen below.

As there is no default User name or Password, click

to proceed. This will open the Web-based user interface. The Switch
management features available in the Web-based manager are explained below.
