Connection
Configuration
The switch is plug and play. To configure the switch, you can use the Web-based GUI or
the configuration utility.
The utility is only supported on Windows now.
Using the Web-based GUI
1. Find out the IP address of the switch.
By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can find out this IP address on the
DHCP server.
If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses the static IP
address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
2. Configure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in the same
subnet.
If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC to obtain
an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
If the switch uses 192.168.0.1
192.168.0.x ("x" ranges from 2 to 254), and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
3. Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in the address
bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name and password.
Now you can configure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further information,
refer to the User Guide.
