Cannot Access Settings

• Make sure that your PC is connected to the switch.
• Access Settings with the switch's IP address (192.168.1.254 by default).
• Confirm that the username ("admin" by default) and the password ("password" by default) are correct. If you
forgot the username or password, initialize the switch.

proxy server's exception list.
• Confirm that your PC is connected to the port which belongs to the management VLAN.

Forgot the Password

• The password is "password" by default. If you changed the password, press the reset button to initialize.
• If the physical reset button is disabled and you forgot the password of Settings, contact our technical support.
• Confirm that the AC adapter or power cable is connected to the inlet.
• If it blinks once per a second, a loop is detected. Check the cabling.
• If your switch has fans and its diag LED is blinking fast, a fan error may be
occurring. Disconnect the power cable and reconnect it. If the LED keeps
blinking, contact our technical support.
• Confirm that the Ethernet cable is connected to both the switch and the
device.
• Confirm that the switch and the connected device are both powered on.
• Confirm that the Ethernet cable type and length is compatible with the
switch.
