D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit, and the eff ect that overl oading of the circu its m ight have on overc urrent pr otection a nd suppl y wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be give n to supply connecti ons other than direct c onnections to the branch c ircuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."

Connecting to the Console Port
Management Options
The D-Link DGS-1210/ME Metro Ethernet Switch can be managed thro ugh any port on the device by using
the web-based management interface, or the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA).
Each switch must be assigned its own IP address, which is used for comm unication with the web-based
management interface or a SNMP network manager. T he PC should have an I P address in the sam e range
as the Switch. Each Switch allows up to four users to access the web-based management interface
concurrently.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Smart Managed Switches, the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA) is a more convenient choice. By using the D-Link Network Assistant (DNA), you do not need to
change the IP address of your PC, making it easier to simultaneously initialize multiple D-Link Managed
Switches.
Please refer to the fol lowing installat ion instructions f or the Web interface and the D-Link Network Assistant
(DNA).
Using Web-based Management Interface
After successfully installing the Switch, you can configure the Switch, monitor the network st atus, and disp lay
statistics using a web browser.
Supported Web Browsers
The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 10/11
Microsoft Edge 25
Chrome 51
Safari 5.1.7
Connecting to the Switch
The access the web interface you will need the following equipment:
1. A PC with a RJ45 Ethernet port.
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect on end of the Ethernet cabl e to any of the p orts on the front pa nel of the Sw itch and connect the
other end of Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PC.

Accessing the Web-based Management Interface
In order to access t he management interf ace, the PC m ust have an IP address i n the same subnet as the
switch. For exam ple, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP address of
10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and a subn et mask of
255.0.0.0. T o launch the w eb interf ace, simply open any compatible web browser and enter 10.90.90.90 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.
