Initial Switch Configuration

This chapter includes information on connecting to the NXA-ENET8-2POE and basic configuration
procedures.
To make use of the management features of the NXA-ENET8-2POE, you must first configure it with an IP
address that is compatible with the network in which it is being installed. This should be done before you
permanently install the switch in the network.
Follow this procedure:
1.
Place the NXA-ENET8-2POE 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 NXA-ENET8-2POE. Connect
power to the NXA-ENET8-2POE 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 NXA-ENET8-2POE.

The default IP Address is 192.168.1.10
The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Therefore, the PC and the NXA-ENET8-2POE are on the same subnet if they both have addresses
that start with 192.168.1.x.
If the PC and NXA-ENET8-2POE are not on the same subnet, you must manually set the PC's IP
address to 192.168.1.x (where "x" is any number from 1 to 254, except 10).
