 The PathWay® Model 7341 Single Channel RJ45 Cat5e A/B Switch with Telnet and GUI allows the user the capability of sharing a single RJ45 interface device, connected to the "COMMON" port, among two other devices, connected to the A and B ports. The Model 7341 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal, black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and fit in a standard 19" rack.

Remote access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100 Base-T connection with either a Telnet or GUI Session.

Proper authentication is required for remote access via the 10/100Base-T connection.  Users can then monitor status, lockout front panel pushbutton control, and control switch position.

OPTION: WIDE RANGE POWER MODULE

UTILIZING THE USER FRIENDLY REMOTE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE SOFTWARE

To connect to the switch from a workstation or computer having access to the LAN that the Model 7341 LAN port is connected to simply launch a standard web browser and type in the appropriate IP address.  The Java Applet will be automatically uploaded from the switch upon connection.  The environment requirement for the GUI is Java 1.7 and above.

10/100Base-T LAN SETUP

Network Setup

The switch is configured from the factory to use DHCP to automatically get its IP address from a DHCP server on the local area network when connected to the network and powered up. Therefore, a DHCP server is needed on the local area network for the initial configuration.  After that, the switch can be configured to use a static IP address. To find the IP address of a switch that it has gotten from the DHCP server, or to reconfigure the IP Address of the switch, use Lantronix® DeviceInstaller application.

Getting DeviceInstaller

DeviceInstaller requires Microsoft's .NET Framework version 4.0 or higher.  If the .NET Framework is not already installed, it must first be installed. The .NET Framework can be downloaded from Microsoft's website, either as a web install, or as a standalone installation.  The latest version of DeviceInstaller can be downloaded from the Lantronix's website.

SOFTWARE FEATURES:

• Access User Interface via standard web browser.
• Easy to use, simple point and click operation.
• Remotely access to control or monitor the Model 7341.
• Remote Control of the switch is password protected.
• Users can change the login password and/or switch's IP address.
• LAN access gives users across the LAN or over the Internet access to control if user network is configured accordingly.
