Initial Switch Configuration
Initial Switch Configuration via Web Browser
After powering up the switch for the first time, you can perform the initial switch configuration using a web
browser. For managing other switch features, refer to the Web User Guide for details.
To begin with the initial configuration stage, you must reconfigure your PC’s IP address and subnet mask so as to
make sure the PC can communicate with the switch. After changing PC’s IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.250), you
can then access the Web UI of the switch using the switch’s default IP address as shown below.
The initial switch configuration procedure is as follows:
Note
: The switch factory default IP address is 192.168.1.77. The factory default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
1. Power up the PC that you will use for the initial configuration. Make sure the PC has the Ethernet RJ45
connector to be connected to the switch via standard Ethernet LAN cable.
2. Reconfigure the PC’s IP address and Subnet Mask as below, so that it can communicate with the switch.
The method to change the PC’s IP address, for example, for a PC running Windows® 7/8.x/10, is as follows:
a) Type “network and sharing“ into the Search box in the Start Menu.
b) Select Network and Sharing Center.
c) Click on Change adapter settings on the left of the PC screen.
Note
: You can also skip steps a to c by
pressing R and type ”ncpa.cpl” command to get directly to step 3.
d) Select the radio button Use the following IP address and enter in the IP for the PC (e.g. any IP address
not in use, and in between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254), Subnet mask (e.g. 255.255.255.0), and
Default gateway that corresponds with your network setup. Then enter your Preferred and Alternate DNS
server addresses.
e) Click OK to change the PC’s IP address.
Note
: Be sure to record all your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them later.
3. Power up the switch to be initially configured, and wait until it has finished its start-up processes.
4. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable, and check the port LED on the
switch to make sure the link status of the PC’s is OK.
5. Run your Web browser on the PC and enter the factory default IP address to access the switch’s Web
interface.
If your PC is configured correctly, you will see the switch Login page as shown below.
