Chapter 2: Initial Configuration

To make use of the management features of your ES4308-PoE, you must first
configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the network it is being installed
in. This should be done before you permanently install the switch in the network.
Follow this procedure:
1. Place the switch close to the PC that you intend to use for configuration. It helps
if you can see the front panel of the switch while working on your PC.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel of the
switch. Connect power to the switch and verify that you have a link by checking
the front-panel LEDs.
3. Check that your PC has an IP address on the same subnet as the switch. The
default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, so the PC and switch are on the same subnet if they both have
addresses that start 192.168.2.x. If the PC and switch are not on the same
subnet, you must manually set the PC's IP address to 192.168.2.x (where "x" is
any number from 1 to 255, except 10). If you are unfamiliar with this process,
see "Changing a PC's IP Address" on page B-1.
4. Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.10. If your PC is
properly configured, you will see the login page of the switch. If you do not see
the login page, repeat step 3.
5. Enter the default password "admin" and click on the Login button.
6. From the menu, click on SYSTEM, then click on LAN Settings. On the LAN
Settings page, enter the new IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address for the switch, then click on the APPLY button.
No other configuration changes are required at this stage, but it is recommended
that you change the administrator's password before logging out. To change the
password, click SYSTEM, Password, and then fill in all the fields on the Password
Settings page before clicking on the APPLY button.
