1. The PWR/Power LED indicator will light up.
2. The LED indicators of all the ports will flash momentarily and then turn off again after the

Accessing the Switch

Note:
Only for TL-SG1016DE/TL-SG1016PE/TL-SG1024DE/TL-SG1218MPE, you can access and
manage the switch.
After the initialization finished, you can access and manage the switch using the Web-based GUI
(Graphical User Interface) or using the Configuration Utility.
Using the Web-Based GUI
To access and manage the switch using the Web-Based GUI, take the following steps:
1. Find the IP address of the switch.
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a
■
DHCP server) in your network. You can find this IP address on the DHCP server.
If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the static IP address of
■
192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
