Nighthawk SX10 Pro Gaming Advanced 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch Model GS810EMX
Access the Switch and Discover the IP
Address of the Switch
By default, the switch receives an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that
functions as a DHCP server) in your network.
For information about setting up a fixed (static) IP address on the switch, see Set Up a
Fixed IP Address for the Switch on page 21.
Access the Switch From a Windows-Based Computer
To access the switch from a Windows-based computer and discover the switch IP
address:
1. Open Windows Explorer or File Explorer.
2. Click the Network link.
3. If prompted, enable the Network Discovery feature.
4. Under Network Infrastructure, locate the Nighthawk SX10 switch.
5. Double-click Nighthawk SX10 (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx), in which xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is
the MAC address of the switch.
The login page of the local browser interface opens.
6. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
The right pane (or, depending on the size of your browser window, the middle pane)
shows the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
Tip: You can copy and paste the IP address into a new shortcut or bookmark it for
quick access on your computer or mobile device. However, if you restart the switch,
a dynamic IP address (assigned by a DHCP server) might change and the bookmark
might no longer link to the login page for the switch. In that situation, you must
repeat this procedure so that you can discover the new IP address of the switch in
the network and update your bookmark accordingly. You can also set up a fixed
(static) IP address for the switch (see Set Up a Fixed IP Address for the Switch on
page 21) to make sure that the new bookmark always links to the login page for the
switch, even after you restart the switch.
