1.3 Web-based Interface
The user-friendly Web-based interface gives you the option of operating the
Switch from any location in the network via a standard browser such as
Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer.
As a universal access tool, the Web browser uses an applet which commu-
nicates with the Switch via the Simple Network Management Protocol (SN-
MP).
The Web-based interface allows you to graphically configure the Switch..
Opening the Web-based Interface
To open the Web-based interface, you will need a Web browser (a pro-
gram that can read hypertext), for example Mozilla Firefox version 1 or lat-
er, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or later.
Note: The Web-based interface uses the "Java™ Runtime Environment
Version 1.4.2.x, 1.5.x or 6.x" plug-in. If it is not installed on your computer
yet, it will be installed automatically via the Internet when you start the
Web-based interface for the first time. This installation is very time-con-
suming.
For Windows users: cancel the installation. Install the plug-in from the en-
closed CD-ROM. To do this, you go to "Additional Software", select Java
Runtime Environment and click on "Installation".
