Power Failure

As a precaution, the switch should be unplugged in
case of power failure. When power is resumed, plug the
switch back in.

Management Options

The D-Link Web Smart Switch can be managed in-band
by using Telnet. The user may also choose the Web-
based Management, accessible through a web browser
or through any PC using the SmartConsole Utility.
If you want to manage only one D-Link Web Smart Switch,
the Web-Based Management is the better option. Each
switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is
used for communication with Web-Based Management or
an SNMP network manager and the PC should have an
IP address in the same range as the switch.
However, if you want to manage multiple D-Link Web
Smart Switches, the SmartConsole Utility is the better
option. Using the SmartConsole Utility, you don't need to
change the IP address of your PC and it is easy to start
the initial setting of multiple Smart Switches.
Please refer to the following detailed installation
instructions for the
SmartConsole Utility, Telnet Management and SNMP-
Based Management.

Web-based Management Interface

After a successful physical installation, you can configure
the switch, monitor the LED panel, and display statistics
graphically using a web browser, such as Netscape
Navigator (version 6.2 and higher) or Microsoft® Internet
Explorer (version 5.0 and higher).
You need the following equipment to begin the web
configuration of your device:
• A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
• A standard Ethernet cable
Step 1
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports in front
panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the PC.

Step 2
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 10.90.90.90, the PC should have an IP
address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~
254 and z is a number between 1 ~254), and a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0.
Open your web browser and enter http://10.90.90.90 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address box. Then press
<Enter>.

browser
The web configuration can also be accessed through the
SmartConsole Utility. Open the SmartConsole Utility
and double-click the switch as it appears in the Device
List. This will automatically load the web configuration in
your web browser.
NOTE: The switch's factory default IP
address is 10.90.90.90 with a subnet
mask of 255.0.0.0 and a default
gateway of 0.0.0.0
Step 3
When the following logon box appears, enter "admin" for
the password. Press OK to enter the main configuration
window.
