Getting Started
This chapter introduces the management interface of D-Link Smart Managed Switch.

Management Options

The D-Link Smart Managed Switch can be managed through any port on the device by using the Web-based
Management.
Each switch must be assigned its own IP Address, which is used for communication with Web-Based
Management or a SNMP network manager. The PC should have an IP address in the same range as the
switch. Each switch can allow up to four users to access to the Web-Based Management concurrently.
Please refer to the following installation instructions for the Web-based Management.

Using Web-based Management

The Switch is capable to managing, configuring, and monitoring via web browser.

Supported Web Browsers

The embedded Web-based Management currently supports the following web browsers:
Web Browser via IE8(or later version), Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Connecting to the Switch

The following equipments would be needed to begin:
1. A PC with a RJ-45 Ethernet connection
2. A standard Ethernet cable
Connect the Ethernet cable to any of the ports on the front panel of the switch and to the Ethernet port on the
PC.

Login Web-based Management

In order to login and configure the switch via an Ethernet connection, the PC must have an IP address in the
same subnet as the switch. For example, if the switch has an IP address of 10.90.90.90, the PC should have
an IP address of 10.x.y.z (where x/y is a number between 0 ~ 254 and z is a number between 1 ~ 254), and
a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. There are two ways to launch the Web-based Management: either click the Web
Access button at the top of the SmartConsole Utility or open the web browser and enter 10.90.90.90 (the
factory-default IP address) in the address bar. Then press <Enter>.
