Starting Web Management

The following shows how to start up the Web Management of the Managed Metro Switch. Note the Managed Metro 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 Metro 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.
