- Connect to the Serial port on the back of the switch with a serial cable. (Putty on Windows works well)
- The defaults for connecting to the serial port are 38400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.
- Confirm that you have an active serial connection by pressing enter a couple of times. You should receive a login screen
- Once you have successfully connected to the serial port restart the switch by unplugging the power. (Either from back or from the power strip, my preferred method is the back)
- The switch will start its POST process.
- Look for the line “Autoboot in 2 seconds - press RETURN or Esc. to abort and enter prom.” (Please note: Do not hold down Esc. or Enter. Only press it once.)
- You will know that you interrupted the boot sequence when you are prompted with a startup menu. Select option 3 “Password Recovery Procedure”.
- The screen will display “The current password will be ignored!”. Press Enter to reboot the switch.
- Once the switch has restarted login with the default admin user and no password. This will work on either the terminal or the web interface. Proceed to create / modify users and passwords. This does not reset the rest of the configuration, just user accounts.
- Once you have your new credentials reboot the switch again. Document the credentials.
- Verify that your new credentials work by logging into either the web interface for the command line interface.
- Disconnect the cable and store it safely.
Yesterday I emailed Linksys a link to my post about Linksys SRW224G4 switch being unusable with firefox and other FOSS browsers. The only response I received was an auto responder telling me to expect a response within 24 hours. List 100 descriptive verbs. After over 28 hours and another email, I still had no response. I wasn't expecting to get a 'it has now been fixed, please test with this beta firmware - [link]', but I did expect something along the lines of 'we have received your message and have forwarded it to the relevant section, you should receive a response in the next 5 business days'. Instead of waiting any longer, I called Linksys.
After calling I spoke to one of the front line helpdesk people who put me though to Wendell, a Senior Technician at Linksys. I also spoke to Wendell last week about my problems with their WebView webGUI on the SRW224G4.
Wendell again told me that it worked with Internet Explorer 5.5+ and that I may find that some pages wouldn't work properly with firefox. After pushing Wendell, he agreed that it wasn't a case of some pages not working properly, but the unit was unless with any browser other than IE. He also told me that this was an issue which had been known by Linksys for some time, and that currently they have no plans to fix support for browsers other than IE 5.5+. I asked for information about where this was documented, Wendell pointed me to the release notes (a MS Word .doc) for the version 1.2.2a firmware for the SRW224G4/SRW248G4 which is only designed for revision 1.0 hardware - I have a revision 1.1 model, which doesn't have any firmware updates available.
Connect to a computer’s serial port (for configuration purposes) using the provided serial cable. You can use HyperTerminal to manage the Switch using the console port. With this and many other Linksys products, your networking options are limitless. Go to the Linksys website at.
The release notes contained the following information at the bottom of page 1.

- This Cisco/Linksys switch has a DB-9 male console port and I dug out a female-to-female DB9 serial cable, but I have no idea whether it's a null modem cable or not and it doesn't seem to work using the official serial port settings for the SRW2024P: Bits per second: 38400 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None.
- I have two Netgear SRW224G4P switches with serial console ports. I'm using a Sabrent USB 2.0 to serial cable adapter with a female-to-female serial cable. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and using putty to connect. However, nothing appears in the console window. I do not get a 'press enter to begin' message, and if I press ender, nothing happens.
The web management interface is best viewed using Internet Explorer 5.5 and up, with a resolution of 1024 x 768. Audiobook player for mac. In the current software version, certain pages cannot be viewed well using other browsers. It is recommended to apply the following workarounds.

Raw fusion live from the styleetron rar file. Note: Internet Explorer web browser must be installed prior to running the following procedures.
This is the first time I have ever been told that I should read the release notes for the latest available version of firmware for a device before purchasing it as the release notes may contradict the data sheet for the product.
The datasheet states
Features[.]- WebView monitoring allows administrators to view the current status and configuration using their favorite web browser
Attic manager. Under the management heading it states:
Web User Interface Built-in Web UI for easy browser-based configuration (HTTP/HTTPS)
The minimum requirements are pretty clear too:
- Web-based Configuration Java-enabled Browser
- Cat5 Ethernet Network Cable
- TCP/IP Protocol installed on each computer within the network
- Network Adapter installed in each computer
- Network Operating System (e.g. Windows®, Linux, MacOS X)
Linksys Srw224g4p Manual
My favourite browser is firefox, and I have java installed (although I see no need for java in the webgui), but I still can't administer my switch.
Instead of sending the unit back to the retailer for a refund, I would much rather see Linksys fix their faulty product.

Winhex. These days, firefox, and other gecko based browsers, aren't niche browsers, they have a growing market share, not only in Australia, but globally. Large vendors should be supporting open standards and platforms, not just the dominant player.

I would recommend that anyone looking at purchasing any Linksys equipment look for alternatives which are more Free/Open Source Software friendly.

Bosch e bike tuning software. A link to this post will also be sent to Linksys, not just the help desk this time, and I will see what response I get. Keep watching.
