Installation Guide
These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using
static IP addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before
connecting it to your network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will
default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP address. To configure the switch before
connecting it to your network:
1. Set up the PC with a Static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect
the PC to the switch. Then, use the Smart Control Center Utility to configure
the switch.
2. Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.
Use category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an
RJ-45 connector to make these connections.
3. Connect the switch to your network.
4. Power on the switch.
5. Verify that the PC with the Smart Control Center Utility is on the same subnet
as the switch.
