Configuring The Switch - D-Link DES-1252 Quick Installation Manual

Configuring the Switch

The DES-1252 has a Web GUI interface for smart switch configuration.
The Switch can be configured through the Web Browser. A network
administrator can manage, control and monitor the switch from the local
LAN. This section indicates how to configure the Switch to enable its
smart functions.
Note: Use Internet Explorer 5.5 or above to properly access and view the
configuration..
Login
In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the
PC must have an IP address in the same range as the switch. For
example, if the switch has an IP address of 192.168.0.1, the PC should
have an IP address of 192.168.0.x (where x is a number between 2 and
254), and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://192.168.0.1 (the factory-default
IP address) in the address box. Then press <Enter>.

configuration in your web browser.
