Introduction
Management Methods
The DES-5200 supports four management methods:
• Local Console Management
• Telnet Management
• Web Management
• D-View/ SNMP Management
Local Console Management
Local Console Management is done through the RS-232 Console port. Managing
the DES-5200 in this mode requires a direct connection between a PC and the
DES-5200.
Telnet Management
Telnet is done over the network. Once the DES-5200 is on the network, you can
use Telnet to log in and change the configuration.
D-View/ SNMP Management
The DES-5200 supports SNMP through D-View, D-Link’s proprietary SNMP
application and through other vendor’s SNMP applications. Please refer to the
appropriate documentation for instructions on installing and using D-View and
other SNMP applications.
Web Management
Web Management is done over the Internet. Once an Internet Protocol (IP)
address has been assigned to the DES-5200 it can be accessed over the web.
Software Update
Software can be updated quickly and easily. See the section Software Update
Menu, Chapter 5, for instructions on updating software.
