5. Whirihoranga Tuatahi

5.1 Te uru atu ki te Web Atanga Kaiwhakamahi (Web UI)

The GWN7811 can be managed via a webatanga kaiwhakamahi whakairoiro (GUI) e hangai ana.

1. Connect a computer directly to any of the GWN7811's RJ45 ports.
2. Ensure your computer's IP address is in the same subnet as the switch's default IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.x). The default IP address for the GWN7811 is typically 192.168.1.1.
3. Tuwhera a web pūtirotiro me te whakauru i te wāhitau IP taunoa o te pana (hei tauira, http://192.168.1.1) ki te pae wāhitau.
4. Enter the default username and password (refer to the Quick Installation Guide or device label for default credentials).
5. Kia angitu tō takiuru, ka uru atu koe ki te Web UI for further configuration.

5.2 Basic Network Settings

After logging in, it is recommended to configure basic network settings:

• Huri Kupuhipa Taunoa: Hei haumarutanga, hurihia tonutia te kupuhipa kaiwhakahaere taunoa.
• Whirihoranga Wāhitau IP: Configure a static IP address for the switch that is suitable for your network environment, or enable DHCP client if applicable.
• Wā Pūnaha: Set the correct system time and configure NTP (Network Time Protocol) for accurate time synchronization.
