- Workstations are installed with Ethernet NIC (Network Interface Card).
- Serial Port Connection (Terminal)
- The above Workstations come with COM Port (DB9) or USB-to-RS-232 converter
- The above Workstations have been installed with terminal emulator, such as Hyper Terminal included in Windows XP/2003.
- Serial cable — one end is attached to the RS-232 serial port, while the other end to the console port of the Managed Switch.
- Ethernet Port Connection
- Network cables — Use standard network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors.
- The above PC is installed with Web browser.
Terminal Setup

Managed Switch Console Connectivity
A terminal program is required to make the software connection to the Managed Switch.
- Run terminal program on the OS.
- When the following screen appears, make sure that the COM port should be configured as:
- Baud: 115200
- Data bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
COM Port Configuration
Logging on to the Console
Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the Managed Switch and the terminal will run self testing procedures. Then, the following message asks to log in user name and password. The factory default user name and password are shown as follows and the login screen in Figure 3-3 appears.Username: adminPassword: admin
Managed Switch Console Login Screen
The user can now enter commands to manage the Managed Switch. For a detailed description of the commands, please refer to the following chapters.
- For security reason, please change and memorize the new pass-word after this first setup.
- Only accept command in lowercase letter under console interface.
Configuring IP Address via the Console
The Managed Switch is shipped with default IP address as follows:IP Address: 192.168.0.100Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
To check the current IP address or modify a new IP address for the Managed Switch, please use the procedures as follows:
Display of The Current IP Address
- On “GS-4210-24T4S#” prompt, enter “show ip”.
- The screen displays the current IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
IP Information Screen
Configuration of the IP Address
- On “GS-4210-24T4S#” prompt, enter “configure”.
- On “GS-4210-24T4S (config)#” prompt, enter the following command and press <Enter>.
GS-4210-24T4S (config)# ip address 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0GS-4210-24T4S (config)# ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
The previous command would apply the following settings for the Managed Switch.IP Address: 192.168.1.100Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Setting IP Address Screen
- Repeat Step 1 to check if the IP address has changed.
If the IP is successfully configured, the Managed Switch will apply the new IP address setting immediately. You can access the Web interface of Managed Switch through the new IP address.
Storing Current Switch Configuration
In switches, the running configuration file is stored in the RAM. In the current version, the running configuration sequence can be saved from the RAM to FLASH by saving command or copying running-config startup-config command, so that the running configuration sequence becomes the startup configuration file, which is called configuration save.
- On “GS-4210-24T4S #” prompt, enter “copy running-config startup-config”.
Saving the Configuration Screen
Starting Web Management
The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Switch. Note the Managed Switch is configured through an Ethernet connection. Please make sure the manager PC must be set to the same IP subnet address.For example, the default IP address of the Managed Switch is 192.168.0.100; then the manager PC should be set to 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 1 and 254, except 100) and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
