Discovery on a Network without a DHCP Server
This section describes how to set up the Switch in a network
without a DHCP server. If your network has no DHCP service,
you must assign a static IP address to your Switch in order
to log in to the web-based Switch management.
1. Connect the supplied Power Cord to the Switch
andand plug the other end into an electrical outlet.
Verify the Power LED indicator is lit on the Switch.
2. Wait for the Switch to complete booting up. It might take
a minute or so for the Switch to completely boot up.
3. Connect one end of a Category 5/6 Ethernet cable into
the Gigabit (10/100/1000) Ethernet port on the Switch
front panel and the other end to Ethernet port on the
computer. Verify that the LED on Ethernet ports of the
Switch are green.
4. Once your computer is on, ensure that your TCP/IP is
set to On or Enabled. Open Network Connections
and then click Local Area Connecton. Select Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
5. If your computer is already on a network, ensure that
you have set it to a Static IP Address on the Interface
(Example:192.168.0.10andtheSubnetmaskaddress
as 255.255.255.0).
6. Open a web browser on your computer. In the address
bar of the web browser, enter 192.168.0.239 and click
Enter.
7. A login screen will appear. By default, the username
is admin and the password is password. Enter the current
paspassword of the Switch and then click Login.
To make access to the web-based management
interface more secure, it’s highly reccomended that
you change the password to something more unique.
8. Once logged in, click IP Settings under the System
menu and select Static IPtoconguretheIPsettings
of the management interface.
9. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Gateway.
10. Click Apply to update the system.
