  • Page 13: Getting Started With Switch Management

    This section provides an overview of switch management, including the methods you can choose to start managing your NETGEAR GS700TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch. It also leads you through the steps necessary to get started, using the SmartWizard Discovery utility. The section includes this information under the following menu options: •...

  • Page 14: Switch Management Interface

    Switch Management Interface Your NETGEAR GS700TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch contains an embedded web server and management software for managing and monitoring switch functions. This switch operates as a simple switch without using the management software. The management software enables you to configure more advanced features, and consequently improve switch efficiency as well as overall network performance.

  • Page 15: Network With A Dhcp Server

    Web Browser Interface, see Network with a DHCP Server To install the switch in a network with a DHCP server, proceed as follows: 1. Connect the GS700TP Smart Switch to a DHCP network. 2. Power on the switch by connecting its AC-DC power adapter.

  • Page 16: Network Without A Dhcp Server

    Manually Assigning Network Parameters If your network has no DHCP service, you must assign a static IP address to your switch. You can also assign the switch a static IP address even if your network has DHCP service. Proceed as follows: 1.
  • Page 17 5. Click Discover for the SmartWizard Discovery utility to find your GS700TP Gigabit PoE Smart Switch. You should see a screen similar to that shown in Figure 1-2. 6. Click Configuration Setting. A screen similar to that shown below appears.
  • Page 18 1. On your PC, access the MS Windows operating system TCP/IP Properties. 2. Set IP address and subnet mask appropriately. The subnet mask value is identical to that set in the switch. The PC IP address must be different from that of the switch but lie in the same subnet.

  • Page 19: Web Access

    You must work from the same network segment that contains the switch (i.e., the subnet mask values of switch and PC host must be the same) and you must point your browser using the switch IP address. If you used the SmartWizard Discovery utility to set up IP address and subnet mask, either with or without DHCP server, use that IP address in your browser window.
