Configuration
The switch is plug and play. To configure the switch, you can use the
Web-based GUI or the configuration utility.
The utility is only supported on Windows now.
Using the Web-based GUI
1. Find out the IP address of the switch.
By default, the switch receives an IP addess from a DHCP server (or a
router that functions as a DHCP server) in your network. You can find
out this IP address on the DHCP server.
If the switch cannot receive an IP address from a DHCP server, it uses
the static IP address of 192.168.0.1, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
2. Configure IP address on your PC to make sure the switch and PC are in
the same subnet.
If the switch uses an IP address assigned by a DHCP server, set your PC
to obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server.
If the switch uses 192.168.0.1
address as 192.168.0.x
255.255.255.0.
3. Launch a web browser on your PC, enter the IP address of the switch in
the address bar and press Enter. Log in with admin as both user name
and password.
Now you can configure the switch using the Web-based GUI. For further

connection to the switch will be lost. Enter the new IP address in your
browser to access the switch again.
