The Switch is a DHCP client by default. Type "http://DHCP-assigned IP" in the Location or Address field.

Press [ENTER].
Note: You can always use the domain name "setup.zyxel" to access the Web Configurator
whether the Switch is using a DHCP-assigned IP or static IP address. This requires your PC
to be directly connected to the Switch. Make sure your PC can connect to a DNS
server via the switch.
If the Switch is not connected to a DHCP server, type "http://" and the static IP address of the Switch (for
example, the default management IP address is 192.168.1.1 through an in-band port) in the Location or
Address field. Press [ENTER]. Your computer must be in the same subnet in order to access this website
address.
Also, you can use the ZON Utility to check your Switch's IP address. See
