Access the Switch

Smart Managed Plus switches are plug-and-play so you do not need to configure 
them. You can also configure and manage additional advanced features of the 
switch either by using a computer’s web browser or by installing the ProSAFE 
Plus Configuration Utility on a Windows-based computer.

Web Browser Access

You can configure a switch when it is connected only to your computer 
(off-network), or connected to your computer and your network (on-network).

To use your web browser to configure your switch:

1.  If you are configuring the switch off-network, record your computer’s 

 

TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the computer with a static 
IP address of 192.168.0.210 and with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.

If you are unsure how to do this, visit 

netgear.com/support

 and search for 

Static IP address on computer.

2.  Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch.

If the switch is connected to a network with a DHCP server (which usually is a 
router), use the IP address that the DHCP server assigns to the switch. If the 
switch is off-network or connected to a network without a DHCP server, use 
the switch’s default IP address, http://192.168.0.239. 

If you are unsure how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use 
the NETGEAR Insight mobile app, ProSAFE Plus Utility, or NETGEAR Switch 
Discovery Tool. 

3.  Enter the password.

The default password is 

password

.

4. 

Click the 

Login

 button.

You can now configure additional switch settings in the local browser 
interface.

5.  When you finish configuring an off-network switch, return your computer to 

its original TCP/IP settings and connect the switch to your network using an 
Ethernet cable.
