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.
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).
