To log in to the switch OBWI from outside a firewall, repeat the above procedure, entering the external IP

address of the firewall instead.

NOTE: The switch will attempt to detect if Java is already installed on your PC. If it is not, in order to use

the OBWI, you will need to install it. You may also need to associate the JNLP file with Java WebStart.

NOTE: Using the OBWI requires using Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.0_11 or higher.

NOTE: Once you have logged in to the OBWI, you will not have to log in again when launching new

sessions unless you have logged out or your session has exceeded the inactivity timeout specified by the

administrator.

After you have been authenticated, the user interface appears. You may view, access, and manage your

switch, as well as specify system settings and change profile settings. The following figure shows the user

interface window areas. Screen descriptions are provided in the following table.
