To log in to the switch OBWI:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of the browser, enter the IP address or host name assigned to the switch
you wish to access. Use https://xxx.xx.xx.xx or https://hostname as the format.
NOTE: If using IPv6 mode, you must include square brackets around the IP address. Use https://
[<ipaddress-] as the format.
3. When the browser makes contact with the switch, enter your username and password, then
click Log in . The switch OBWI appears.
NOTE: The default username is Admin with no password.
To log in to the switch OBWI from outside a firewall, repeat the previous procedure, entering the external
IP address of the firewall instead.
NOTE: The switch attempts to detect if Java is already installed on your PC. If it is not, in order to use
the OBWI, need to install it. You can also need to associate the JNLP file with Java WebStart.
NOTE: Using the OBWI requires using Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0_11 or higher.
NOTE: Once you have logged in to the OBWI, you do not have to log in again when launching new
sessions unless you have logged out or your session has exceeded the inactivity timeout specified by
the administrator.
