Step 7: Manage the Switch using a Web Browser or the
Smart Control Center Utility
The NETGEAR GS716T,GS724T,GS748T Series Smart Switch contains software for
viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not
required for the switch to work. The ports can be used without using the management
software. However, the management software enables the setup of VLAN and Trunking
features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of
its overall performance as well as the performance of the network.
After powering up the switch for the first time, the Smart Switch can be configured using a
Web browser or a utility program called Smart Control Center. For more information about
managing the switch, see the GS716T,GS724T,GS748T Series Software Administration
Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD.
Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already
configured on the device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239
and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
