1 Log in Via Console Management

1 Overview

1.1 Introduction

This manual covers the ESML6-FL2 series management software. This software supports Telnet, SNMP protocols and is compliant with networking regulations. This switch can be managed and monitored using third party software. Configuration of the switch, monitoring and other network management features can be achieved in 3 ways:

• via the console port (HyperTerminal)

• using Telnet

• using a web browser

2 Logging in

2.1 Log in via the Console Port – Hyper Terminal

The Hyper Terminal in Microsoft Windows can be used to log into the switch management software. If there is no Hyper Terminal, the user can install it in Windows. After finishing installation, access the RS232 console software as follows:

• Connect the RS232 console port of the ESML6-FL2 to the serial port of a computer

using the console cable provided.

• In Windows, start Hyper Terminal as shown below in Fig 2-1:

4 Configure Serial Port

You will be prompted to enter a new link name eg. “Common1” as shown below:

Fig 2-2 Establish a Link

1. Select a serial port and click on the “OK” button as shown in Fig 2-3:

Fig 2-3 Select Serial Port

2. Configure port “COM1” as shown below in Fig 2-4. Click on the “OK” button to move to the user interface.

2.2 Log in using Telnet

The user can also use Telnet to log into the switch management software. Use a crossover or straight-through cable to attach an RJ45 port of the switch to the RJ45 port of a PC. Access as follows:

1. In the “Run” page in Windows, enter “telnet 192.168.0.2” and click on “OK” as shown

in Fig 2-7:

Fig 2-7 Run Telnet Commands

2. Enter the user name: “admin” and password: “123” and press the ‘OK’ key to access the main menu of the Telnet console management as shown Fig 2-8:

Fig 2-8 Log in to Telnet Console

2.3 Log in using a web browser

To access the switch via a web browser, the switch needs to be connected from one of its RJ45 ports by a straight-through cable to the computer. The user can view or modify the IP address once in the management software.

MAC address： 000060006000 IP address： 192.168.0.2 Subnet mask： 255.255.255.0 Default gateway： 192.168.0.1

Access the web in the following way:

1. Start a web browser and enter the appropriate IP address, press the enter key to

open the connection as shown in Fig 2-10:

Fig 2-10 Start Web Management

2. Enter the user name “admin” and password “123” in the presented page and

click on the “Log in” button.

VLAN Mode

PVID

Ingress rule 1 (if frame is not a member )

Ingress rule 2 (if frame is untagged)

b) Add a VLAN Group

Select the ways to create VLANs based on port, 802.1Q with GVRP and

802.1Q without GVRP. To specify the VLAN ID associated with untagged frames on the port. Eg. if the default PVID of port 3 is 100, all untagged frames on port 3 are associated with VLAN100. The default PVID of all ports is 1. When the user wants to configure the devices which don’t support tagging and add them to a VLAN, this feature is used. Only one untagged VLAN is permitted for each port. This rule is corresponding to the ingress rule 1 of web management: only forward the frames with the appropriate VID to the port. With the space key, the user chooses to forward or drop the frames that have no appropriate VID. This rule is corresponding to the ingress rule 1 of web management: drop the untagged frames. With the space key, the user chooses to forward or drop the untagged frames.

Table 3-5 VLAN Descriptions

Fig 3-17 Create a VLAN Group

From this option, the user can create a VLAN and add tagged/untagged members to it. The specific descriptions of each item are shown in Table 2-6:

VLAN Name Enter new VLAN name VLAN ID Enter number to identify the VLAN group from 2-4094, the default value

is 1.

VLAN Protocol Press the space key to select protocol.

Press the space key to select VLAN members including 3 types:

Members

Tagged: the port is tagged member. Untagged: the port is untagged member. None: the port is not the member of the VLAN.
