4. Initial Switch Configuration
Initial Switch Configuration via Web Browser
After powering up the switch for the first time, perform initial switch configuration using a web browser.
For managing other switch features, see the Web User Guide for details.
To begin the initial configuration, you must reconfigure your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to make sure the
PC can communicate with the switch. After changing PC’s IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.250), you can access the
switch Web UI using the switch’s default IP address (192.168.1.77) and default Subnet Mask ( 255.255.255.0).
1. Power up the PC that you will use for the initial configuration. Please 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:
2a: Type “network and sharing“ into the Search box in the Start Menu.
2b: Select Network and Sharing Center
2c: Click on Change adapter settings on the left of PC screen
Note
: You can skip step 2a to 2c by pressing R and type ”ncpa.cpl” command to get to step 2d
directly.
2d: Right-click on your local adapter and select Properties
2e: In the Local Area Connection Properties window highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) then
click the Properties button.
Note
: Be sure to record all your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them later.
2f: Select the radio button Enter the IP address for the PC (e.g., any IP address not in use, and between
192.168.1.78 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.

to change the PC’s IP address.
3. Power up the switch to be initially configured and wait until it has finished its start-up processes.

switch to make sure the link status of the PC is OK.
