The username and password are not included in the restore file. You have to login to the switch's webpage with the same
credentials as before you restored the settings.

How to add a VLAN

We recommend to create a separate VLAN for endpoints other than devices belonging to the surveillance system. Each member of
the VLAN can only communicate with other members of the VLAN with the exception of the switch's webpage. Every VLAN, if its
endpoint is enabled to include an IP address in the same subnet as the switch's webpage, can browse to the switch's webpage (if you
have the correct credentials). In this way, switch administrators can never be locked-out from the switch.
Example
You could create a second VLAN for IP phones, printers, or computers sharing the same switch. The default VLAN (VLAN 1) would then
be used strictly by the security system. In this way, you prevent traffic from a separate network with a different purpose to mingle
with or gain access to security equipment or access security traffic and vice versa.
Note
Firmware version 1.4.5.418 or higher supports VLAN.
1. Open the switch's webpage.
2. Go to VLAN and click Add.
3. Select which port, uplink or CPU connections you want to add to the new VLAN.
Each port, uplink, or CPU connection can only belong to one VLAN at a time.
4. (Optional) Click the VLAN name field and type a description, for example "Building A, 2nd floor cameras".
5. Reboot the switch.

How to encrypt traffic to the switch's webpage

You can implement HTTPS to add a transport layer encryption (TLS) on data that passes from the browser to the switch. This is
important when you reset the switch's password to prevent non-authorized users from obtaining the switch's password through
unencrypted traffic.
The device supports three modes for implementing HTTPS: HTTP only, HTTP or HTTPS (based on the URL selected), or HTTPS only.
If you want to encrypt traffic, we recommend to disable HTTP and only use HTTPS.
1. Open the switch's webpage.
2. Go to HTTPS > Manage certificate.
3. Generate a self-signed certificate or upload matching bundle, certificate, and key files.
Before you can activate HTTPS, the switch verifies that these are valid and that the files match.
4. Go to Administration.
5. Select HTTPS and disable HTTP.
6. Reboot the switch.
