48-Port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Managed Plus Switch Model GS750E

Configure the Switch

Smart Managed Plus Switches are plug-and-play, so they can be used without any configuration. Just
connect power, connect to your network and to your other devices, and you're done. You can also configure
and manage additional advanced features of the switch either by using your computer's web browser or by
installing the ProSAFE
For easiest access, we recommend that you cable the switch to a network with a router or DHCP server
that assigns IP addresses, power on the switch, and then use a computer that is connected to the same
network as the switch (on-network). However, it is also possible to configure the switch connected directly
only to the computer that you are using to configure it, and not connected to the network (off-network).

Access the Switch Using a Web Browser

This manual describes the web browser–based management interface.
You can access and configure the switch directly through its web browser–based management interface by
entering the switch's IP address in the address bar of a browser. When using web-browser setup, the simplest
way to configure the switch is not connected to your network (off-network).You can also configure the switch
with it connected to your network, router, or modem, (on-network) but you must be able to determine the IP
address of the switch if your network uses DHCP.

Access a Switch That Is Off-Network

To use your web browser to configure a switch that is not connected to a network:
1. Record your computer's TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the computer with a static
IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
Note If you are unsure how to do this, visit the support website at
search for Static IP address on computer.
2. Plug the switch into a power outlet and then connect your computer to the switch using an Ethernet
cable.
You can connect the Ethernet cable to any port on the switch.
3. Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.0.239.
This is the default address of the switch.
4. When prompted, enter the password.
The default password is password.
5. Click the Login button.
You can now configure additional options for the switch in the web management interface.
6. After you complete the configuration of the switch, reconfigure the computer that you used for this
process to its original TCP/IP settings.
You can now connect your switch to your network using an Ethernet cable.
