A terminal program is required to make the software connected
to the managed switch. Windows' Hyper Terminal program

may be a good choice. The Hyper Terminal can be accessed
from the Start menu.

1. Click Start > Programs > Accessories > Hyper

Terminal.

2. When the following screen appears, ensure that the COM
port is configured as shown below. Click OK when finished
with configuration.

3. Log in to the console. After the terminal has been

connected to the device, power on the managed switch.
The terminal displays “running testing procedures”.

When the following dialog box in Figure 4 below appears,
type the factory default user name "admin" and password

“admin”.

Configuration of the IP address

3. At the “#” prompt, type the following command and press
Enter as shown in Figure 5.

NS3500-24T-4C # configure terminal
NS3500-24T-4C (config)# interface vlan 1
NS3500-24T-4C (config-if-vlan)# ip address 192.168.1.100

255.255.255.0

The previous command would apply the following settings
for the managed switch.

IP Address: 192.168.1.100

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

User name: admin

Password: admin

Note:

1. For security purposes, change and memorize the new
password after this first setup.

2. Only commands in lowercase letters are accepted in the
console interface.

Configuring the IP address

The managed switch is shipped with the default IP address
shown below:

IP Address: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address
for the managed switch, use the following procedures:

Display of the current IP Address

1. At the “#” prompt, type “show ip interface brief”.

Figure 5: Configuring the IP address screen

4. Repeat step 1 to check if the IP address has changed.

Store the current switch configuration

5. At the “#” prompt, type the following command and press

Enter.

# copy running-config startup-config

Figure 6: Saving current configuration command screen

If the IP is successfully configured, the managed switch applies
the new IP address setting immediately. Access the web
interface of the managed switch through the new IP address.

Note: If unfamiliar with the console command or the related
parameter, type “help” in the console to obtain the Help
description.

2. The screen displays the current IP address.

Starting web management

The section describes how to start up the web management
function for the managed switch. Note that the managed switch
is configured through an Ethernet connection. Ensure that the
manager computer is set to the same IP subnet address.

For example, if the default IP address of the managed switch is

192.168.0.100, then the manager computer should be set to
