Access the Switch

ProSAFE Plus switches are plug-and-play, so you can use them without
configuration. You can configure your switch using the local browser–based
managment interface or by using ProSAFE Plus Utility on a Windows-based
computer. To use the local browser interface, you must know the IP address of
the switch.
To find the firmware, documentation, software, or other files, visit
