Web interface not responding on JGS524E

Repurposing a JGS524E switch after several years of service.  Did a factory reset, direct connected a laptop with IP of 192.168.0.100.  I could ping the 192.168.0.239 address, but the web interface will not open. Tried 3 different browsers, no response.

Downloaded and installed the ProSafe Plus configuration utility. It found the switch, I set an IP address for my local network and left all the other settings as the defaults.  Same result, I can ping the new address, but web interface will not open.

Downloaded and installed the latest firmware, still will not respond.

I can use the configuration utility to connect without a problem.

I do not know if the Web interface EVER worked, I had never tried connecting to it previously.

I searched for a setting to enable/disable HTTP access, but couldn't find one. I also didn't see any mention of a setting like that in the documentation.

So, what am I missing here?

 

  • ITSGPete,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    It seems that the JGS524E switch you have is a JGS524Ev1 (v = version).  The JGS524Ev1 does not have a web-GUI.  It can only be manage using the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility. 

     

    The JGS524Ev2 switch can be managed either via its web-GUI or by using the ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility. 

     

    As reference, kindly check the respective data sheets for the JGS524Ev1 and JGS524Ev2 below.  Notice on page 7 of the JGS524Ev2 data sheet, it states on the Management section that it can be both managed via Web browser-based management GUI and PC Utility (ProSAFE Plus Configuration Utility).

      Guess that would be the reason then.  I'll stick with the Utility program then, thanks for the quick response.
