This topic describesthe J-Web procedure.NOTE: Before you begin the configuration, enable a DHCP client on themanagement PC you will connect to the switch so that the switch can obtainan IP address dynamically.NOTE: Read the following steps before you begin the configuration. Youmust complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. Theswitch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes and reverts to the factory defaultconfiguration, and the PC loses connectivity to the switch. The LCD displaysa count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode.To connect and configure the switch using the J-Web interface:1.
