Overview of the WFS709TP

The browser interface allows you to configure and manage WFS709TPs. The browser interface is 
accessible through a standard web browser from a remote management console or workstation. 
Before you can use the management interface from a remote console or workstation, you must 
configure the WFS709TP with an IP address and default gateway and connect it to your network. 
See 

 for more information.

All WFS709TPs have a serial port for connecting to a local console, and a 10/100 Mbps Fast 
Ethernet port for out-of-band management. Refer to the document WFS709TP ProSafe Smart 
Wireless Switch Hardware Installation Guide for more information about the switch’s ports. 

To use the browser interface, enter the IP address of the WFS709TP in a web browser.

Note: In this manual, the instructions for reaching a specific browser interface page are 

shortened to specify the sequence of tab or page selections; for example, “Navigate 
to the Configuration > Basic > Network > VLAN page.”

Note: You can find the WFS709TP ProSafe Smart Wireless Switch Hardware Installation 

Guide in PDF form on the WFS709TP Resource CD. It is also available from the 
NETGEAR support site.

Note: The WFS709TP browser interface requires Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher. Other 

browsers may work, but have limited functionality and are therefore not supported.
