Device Information

This window contains the main settings for all major
functions of the Switch and appears automatically when
you log on. To return to the Device Information window,
click the DES-1228/ME Web Management Tool folder.
The Device Information window shows the Switch's
MAC Address (assigned
unchangeable), the Boot PROM, Firmware Version,
Hardware Version and Serial Number. This information
is helpful to keep track of PROM and firmware updates
and to obtain the Switch's MAC address for entry into
another network device's address table, if necessary. The
user may also enter a System Name, System Location
and System Contact to aid in defining the Switch. In
addition, this window displays the status of functions on
the Switch to quickly assess their current global status.
Some functions are hyper-linked to their configuration
window for easy access from the Device Information
window.
