What is the procedure for logging in to the switch for the first time using the web system (Mode 2)?

• Step 1: If the device has only the ETH management interface, connect the PC to the ETH management interface using network cables. Press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer. When all indicators on the device are steady green, the device enters the initial configuration mode, and the default IP address configured for the ETH management interface of the device is 192.168.1.253/24.
• Step 2: If the device has Ethernet interfaces, connect the PC to any Ethernet interface excluding the ETH management interface using network cables. Press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer. When all indicators on the device are steady green, the device enters the initial configuration mode, and the default IP address configured for Vlanif1 of the device is 192.168.1.253/24.

When can users log in to a device for the first time using the web system?

Users can log in to a device for the first time using the web system only when the device is in factory default state. In this case, do not log in to the device through the console interface, because any operation on the console interface leads to the failure of the first login using the web system.

What happens if the configuration is not saved within 10 minutes after entering the initial configuration mode?

If you do not save the configuration in 10 minutes after entering the initial configuration mode, the system will exit from this mode and restore the factory settings.

If the device in the factory settings has just started or has been configured through the console interface when users press and hold down the MODE button for 6 seconds, the device may fail to enter the initial configuration state. When all indicators blink fast for 10s, the device restores to the factory default state.

What happens if you have logged in to the device for the first time by holding down the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration?

If you have logged in to the device for the first time by holding down the MODE button for 6 seconds or longer and saved the configuration, default configurations of the ETH management interface are cleared and you cannot log in to the device for the first time through the ETH management interface. You are advised to preferentially log in to the device for the first time through the ETH management interface.

What should be done to save the configuration and exit the initial login page?

Click Apply to save the configuration. When you exit from the initial login page, either of the following situations will occur depending on the management IP address you configured:

• If the management IP address is in the same network segment as 192.168.1.253/24, the system jumps to the web login page directly.
• If the management IP address is not in the same network segment as 192.168.1.253/24, you cannot log in to the switch again using the web system. You need to configure another IP address for your computer to make the computer and switch reachable from each other.
