Network without a DHCP Server

This section describes how to set up your switch in a network without a DHCP server, and is
divided into the following tasks:
• Manually assign network parameters for your switch
• Configure the NIC settings on the host PC
• Log in to the web-based switch management utility
Manually Assigning Network Parameters
If your network has no DHCP service, you must assign a static IP address to your switch. You can
also assign the switch a static IP address even if your network has DHCP service. Proceed as
follows:
1. Connect the GS700AT Gigabit Smart Switch to your existing network.
2. Power on the switch by plugging in the AC-DC power adapter. The default IP is
192.168.0.239.
3. Install the Smart Wizard Discovery utility on your computer. The Smart Wizard Discovery
utility is located on the switch installation CD.
4. Start the Smart Wizard Discovery utility.
5. Click Discover for the Smart Wizard Discovery utility to find your GS700AT Gigabit Smart
Switch. You should see a screen similar to that shown in Figure 1-1.
