Configuration

This section covers some tasks that are not fully covered in the User Manual (see section Introduction, page 3).

Accessing the Configuration Interface

There are two configuration options:

Graphical User Interface (GUI), using an Ethernet connection.
Command Line Interface (CLI), using a console cable.

Graphical User Interface

For full details, download this document: http://www.wireless- tek.com/Uploads/download/1583371174.pdf When in Factory Reset state, the Switch is set to use the default IP address of 192.168.0.1.

Make sure that your host system is connected via Ethernet to the Switch.
Configure the Ethernet adapter on your host system with a static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet.
e. g. 192.168.0.10
Launch your web browser and type http://192.168.0.1 in the address field. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac).

Enter the login credentials.

The default credentials are:

Username: admin
Password: admin

Command Line Interface

Saving Current Configuration

Configuration changes are not permanent, unless saved. To preserve a configuration change to be used on the next boot-up, save the current configuration using the System Configuration / Save Current Configuration menu option.

DHCP IP Address

These instructions are to configure the device to obtain its network configuration (IP address, subnet mask, gateway address) from a DHCP server on the same LAN.
After this has been done, consult the DHCP server’s list of leases to learn the IP address of the device.

Select the IP Basic Configuration / IP Address Configuration menu selection.
Set Line Item to 1 Set DHCP Client to Enable Click Set IP Address/DHCP Client
The Switch will now query the LAN DHCP server and move to a new IP address. Consult the DHCP server’s list of leases to learn the new IP address of the Switch.

Network Time Client Setup

By default the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client is disabled. To enable:

Select the System Configuration / SNMP Configuration menu selection.
Set Enable Status to Enable,
Set the Time Zone Enter one or more of the Server IP addresses shown below. Click Apply
Select the System Configuration / Basic Information menu option
You should see the correct time.

If the time is incorrect, that indicates the Switch is unable to connect to the Internet. Start by checking the IP Basic Configuration settings to check the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are set correctly.

AAA

Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) features in the switch can be used as follows:

TACACS+: External authentication for switch management logins.
802.1x: External authentication for user network access. 6.5.1. TACACS+

The default behaviour is that switch management interface logins are authenticated against the internal switch database, as configured in System Configuration / User Management.
Alternatively, these logins can be authenticated against an external TACACS+ server.

WARNING:
When you enable & apply TACACS+ authentication, management login to the switch will ONLY use TACACS+. Only save the configuration after confirming you can still login.

Setup a TACACS+ server accessible by the switch. Shown below is a simple TACACS+ configuration file that will authenticate switch management logins with Username/Password credentials of admin/admin.
Select the AAA Configuration / Tacacs+ Configuration menu option and setup similar to as below and click Apply.
In a new browser window, go to the URL of your switch and confirm you can still login.
If OK: Then select the System Configuration / Save Current Configuration menu option and click Save.

Otherwise: Resolve the TACACS+ problem.
6.5.2. 802.1x (EAP)

The default switch behaviour can be changed such that devices (e.g. PCs) plugged into specified ports have no network connectivity until authorized.

SNMP and MIBs

The Switch supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Management Information Base (MIB) definition files are available from:
https://ubwh.com.au/documents/WiTek-MIBs.zip
In addition, the Switch can send alerts to a TRAP server.

Shown below are some example screen captures from a Windows program called PowerSNMP Free Manager available from
https://www.dart.com/pages/powersnmp-free-manager
