• Assign a static IP address through the Smart Control Center. If you connect the
switch to a network that does not include a DHCP server, or you prefer to assign static
addresses, you can use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to assign a static IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway. For more information, see
On-Network Without a DHCP Server
• Assign a static IP address from a directly-connected computer. If you do not use the
Smart Control Center to assign a static address, you can connect to the switch directly
from a computer in the 192.168.0.0/24 network and change the settings by using the local
browser interface on the switch. For more information, see
Off-Network on page 16.

Access the Switch On-Network With a DHCP Server

The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default, allowing a DHCP server on the network
(or router that functions as a DHCP server) to assign an IP address to the switch.
When you connect the switch to your network, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP
address to the switch. Use the Smart Control Center (SCC) to discover the IP address
automatically assigned to the switch.
The SCC program runs on a Windows-based computer and is included on the resource CD.
You can also download the SCC program from downloadcenter.netgear.com. If you do not
use a Windows-based computer, get the IP address of the switch from the DHCP server in
the network or use an IP scanner utility, which are available free of charge on the Internet.
Note: The computer that is running the SCC program must be on the same
network (that is, in the same broadcast domain) as the switch.

To determine the DHCP-assigned IP address of the switch and access the switch:
1. Connect the switch to a network that includes a DHCP server.
2. Power on the switch by connecting its power cord.
3. Install the Smart Control Center on your computer.
4. Start the Smart Control Center.
5. Click the Discover button.
The Smart Control Center finds your switch.
