Getting Started This section provides an introduction to the web-based configuration utility, and covers the following topics: • Powering on the device • Connecting to the network • Starting the web-based configuration utility Power Installing Power Power down and disconnect the power cord before wiring a switch. Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off. The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use any other power components except those specifically designated for the switch. Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring. The Gigabit Ethernet Smart-Lite switch is powered by an external power adapter (5V DC/1A). Connect the power adapter to an external power source and check the power LED is on.
Connecting to the Network To connect your switch to the network: Connect the switch to local power with the included power adapter. Use a standard Cat 5/5e Ethernet cable to connect the switch to end devices as shown below. Switch ports will automatically adjust to the link rate of the device to which it’s connected. Optionally, any port can be used to uplink to an existing network. Application Diagram Switch Gateway VoIP Access Phone Camera Point...
Starting the Web-based Configuration Utility This section describes how to navigate the web-based switch configuration utility. If you are using a pop-up blocker, make sure it is disabled. Browser Restrictions • If you are using older versions of Internet Explorer, you cannot directly use an IPv6 address to access the device. You can, however, use the DNS (Domain Name System) server to create a domain name that contains the IPv6 address, and then use that domain name in the address bar in place of the IPv6 address. • If you have multiple IPv6 interfaces on your management station, use the IPv6 global address instead of the IPv6 link local address to access the device from your browser. Launching the Configuration Utility To open the web-based configuration utility: Open a Web browser. Enter the IP address of the device you are configuring in the address bar on the Browser (the factory default IP address is 192.168.169.1) and then press Enter. Your computer’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the switch. For the default IP address this is any IP address in the range 192.168.169.x (x= 2 – 254). Modify the IP address of your computer as need. The login window displays.
Logging In To log in to the device configuration utility: Enter the default user ID (admin) and the default password ( admin). If this is the first time that you logged on with the default user ID (admin) and the default password (admin) it is recommended that you change your password immediately. See Password for additional information. When the login attempt is successful, the System Status window displays. If you entered an incorrect username or password, the “Login” page remains displayed on the window. If you are having problems logging in, please see the “Launching the Configuration Utility” section in the User Manual for additional information.
Logging Out By default, the application logs out after ten minutes of inactivity. To manually logout, click Logout on the bottom of the menu sidebar. When a timeout occurs or you intentionally log out of the system, a message appears and the Login page appears, with a message indicating the logged-out state. After you log in, the application returns to the initial page.
Web-based Switch Configuration The Smart-Lite switch software provides rich Layer 2 functionality for switches in your network.

When it detects a loop, this feature will disable loop Loop Prevention ports and down port LED, and the system LED will be blinking. Apply Click Apply to save the values and update the screen.
IGMP Snooping Use this section to create an IGMP Snooping Profile. Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping is a feature that allows a switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently on the switch. Multicast IP traffic is traffic that is destined to a host group. Host groups are identified by class D IP addresses, which range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. Based on the IGMP query and report messages, the switch forwards traffic only to the ports that request the multicast traffic. This prevents the switch from broadcasting the traffic to all ports and possibly affecting network performance. To view the IGMP Snooping menu, navigate to IGMP Snooping. Item Description Blocking Unknown Multicast Block unknown multicast packets. Enable IGMP Enable/disable IGMP snooping. Snooping Select a static port on which to snoop, either No Static Router Port, or one of IGMP Static Router Port ports 1-5. Apply Click Apply to save the values and update the screen.
Password Use these settings to change an account password. To view the password menu, navigate to Password. Item Description Confirm Click Confirm to save the values and update the screen. Old Password, New User Name Enter new user name. New Password Enter new password. Confirm New Enter new password again to confirm. Password Logout Click Logout to leave the switch management menu and close the web management session.
