on a PC or notebook computer and to the R145 type of the console port of the
Managed Switch.
PC/ Workstation with Terminal Emulation Software
Figure 3-1: 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:
- Data bits: 8
- Baud: 115200
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
- Flow control: None
Logging on to the Console
Once the terminal is connected to the device, power on the Managed Switch and
the terminal will display “running 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 3-2 appears.
Username: admin
Password: admin
Figure 3-2: 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.
Note
- For security reason, please change and memorize the new pass- word after this first setup.
- 0nly accept command in lowercase letter under console inter- face.
Configuring IP Address via the Console
The Managed Switch is shipped with default IP address as follows:
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 Switch,
please use the procedures as follows:
Showing the current IP address
-
At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “show ip”.
-
The screen displays the current IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway as shown in Figure 3-3
Figure 3-3: IP Information Screen
Configuring IP address -
At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “configure”.
-
At the “GS-4210 Series(config)#” prompt, enter the following command and press as shown in Figure 3-4.
GS-4210 Series(config )# ip address 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0
GS-4210 Series(config) # ip default-gateway 192.168.1.254
The previous command would apply the following settings for the Switch.
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
Figure 3-4: |P 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 the GS-4210 Managed Switch Series through the new IP address.
Storing Current Switch Configuration
In the Managed switch, the running configuration file is stored in the RAM. In
the current version, the running configuration sequence of running-config can
be saved from the RAM to FLASH by writing the command or copying the running-
config startup-config command, so that the running configuration sequence
becomes the startup configuration file, which is the configuration saved.
- At the “GS-4210 Series#” prompt, enter “copy running-config startupconfig” as shown in Figure 3-5.

Note
If you are not familiar with console command or the related para- meter, enter
“2” anytime in console to get the help description.
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.
Figure 4-1: IP Management Diagram
Logging in to the Managed Switch
- Use Internet Explorer 8.0 or above Web browser and enter IP address hitps://192.168.0.100 to access the Web interface.
- When the following dialog box appears, please enter the default user name and password “admin”. The login screen in Figure 4-2 appears.
Default Username: admin
Default Password: admin

the login password to the default value, press the hardware-based reset
button on the front panel for about 10 seconds. After the device is
rebooted, you can log in the management Web interface within the same subnet
of 192.168.0.xx.
