Getting Started 
This chapter explains how to access your Moxa EtherDevice Switch for the first time. There are 
three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial

PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the switch’s IP address. The Telnet console and
