Chapter 4 Initial Switch Configuration
Initial Switch Configuration via Web Browser
When you power up the switch the first time, a First Time Wizard is presented. On subsequent power ups, you
can perform the initial switch configuration using a web browser. See the Quick Start Guide for First Time Wizard
information. For managing other switch features, refer to the Web User Guide for details.
For 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 (for example, 192.168.1.250), then
you can access the Web interface of the switch using the switch’s default IP address as shown below.
The initial switch configuration via web browser procedure is as follows:

The switch’s factory default IP address is
192.168.1.77
and the factory default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0
.
