Now I see the system management page on browser.

Welcome to our community! :)
As per checking that you lost your access to the switch. I believe that this is working as design. You may just need to upload the boot loader in order to gain access again to the admin page.
It states on the release notes of the v1.6.1.3 that "Changes the Switch Management Mode (System > Management > Switch Management Mode) default value from Web browser and Plus Utility to Web browser only"
GSS116E Firmware Version 1.6.1.3
If you need immediate assistance, please create a ticket and let our support team know the status of your switch.

The process is nicely documented in the GSS116E Firmware Version 1.6.1.3 Release Notes.
The problem my friend JohnC_V is here again that the "latest" firmware kit (ZIP archive) does again not contain the current bootloader image required! It would be a good policy to include the current valid bootloader image on all subsequent especially on the certain Smart Managed Plus or Click model lines. Unless I'm wrong, the last bootloader image would be v1.0.0.5 - it's available in the older GSS116E Firmware Version 1.6.0.9 firmware kit.
Unfortunatelly didn't work. When transfering firmware file I got a message "er009 ".
No access to anything, even could apply IP settings and switch in stucked on default. When I mean NO ACCESS, I mean no access via prosafe utility or via browser. The only page that I have access is firmware loader that is unable to transfer the firmware.
So, what I should do?
