This chapter explains how to access a Moxa EtherDevice Switch’s various configuration,
monitoring, and administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: serial
console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires
using a short serial cable to connect the EDS to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know
the EDS’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to
access the EDS over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.
