System Requirements

Your switch is designed to operate with a variety of platforms, operating systems
and network cards. Actual performance will depend on a combination of these
components. Differences in performance can occur depending on the versions
and types of platforms, operating system and network cards used.

The minimum system requirements are:

• Clients running Windows 98/ME, NT4.0, 2000/XP, Vista, MAC OS9 or later,
Linux, UNIX or other platform compatible with TCP/IP protocols.

• Workstation installed with Ethernet NIC (Network interface Card)

• Serial Port connection (Terminal)

• Above PC with COM Port (DB-9)

• Ethernet Port connection

• Network cables - Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45

connectors.

• Above PC installed with WEB Browser and JAVA runtime environment

Plug-in

Note: We recommend using Windows XP or Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 6.0

or above for access to the switch management setup.

Terminal Setup

Three are ways to access and setup your switch. They are:

• RS-232 console

• Telnet

• Web Browser

RS-232 console

To configure the system, connect a serial cable to a COM port on a PC or
notebook computer and to the serial (console) port of the GE-DSG/GE-DSSG
Managed Switch. The console port of the Managed Switch is DCE already, so that
you can connect the console port directly through PC without the need of Null
Modem.
