Web Configurator
Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy Switch setup and management through Internet browser. Use a browser that supports HTML5, such as Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome. The recommended minimum screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels.
In order to use the Web Configurator, you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows
• JavaScript (enabled by default)
• Java permissions (enabled by default)
Access
1 Make sure your Switch hardware is properly connected. See the Quick Start Guide.
2 Browse to https://192.168.1.1. The Login screen appears.
3 Enter the user name (default: “admin”) and password (default: “1234”).
4 Click Login. The Change Password screen appears the first time you log in using the default password.
Enter the default system password (1234). Enter your new system password using the keyboard characters ("a – z", "A – Z", "0 – 9", ~!@#$%^&*()_+`–={}[]:;<>./\). The allowed string length is 1 to 64. Re-enter your new system password for confirmation. Click Apply.
If you did not change the default SNMP community values, a warning screen displays each time you log into the Web Configurator.Change the SNMP access right, and then click Apply to save your changes.
LABEL | Description |
|---|---|
SNMP Use this section to specify the SNMP community and access right values. | |
Community | Enter a string identifying the community name that this entry should belong to. The allowed string length is 1 to 20, and the allowed content is ASCII characters from 33 to 126. |
Access Right | Select the access mode for this entry. The possible values are Read-Only and Read-Write. |
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. |
Cancel | Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. |
Navigating the Web Configurator
The following summarizes how to navigate the Web Configurator from the Getting Started screen. The screens may vary slightly for different models.
The Web Configurator’s main screen is divided into these parts:
• Title Bar
• Navigation Panel

The title bar provides some useful links that always appear over the screens below, regardless of how deep into the Web Configurator you navigate.
The icons provide the following functions.
Label | Description |
|---|---|
Refresh | Click Refresh to reload the page. |
Save | Click this to apply your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring. |
