To make use of the management features of your Tiger Switch, you must
first configure it with an IP address that is compatible with the network it
is being installed in. For simplicity, this should be done before you
permanently install the switch in the network.
The following procedure is recommended:
1.
Place your Tiger Switch close to the PC that you will use to configure
it. It will help if you can see the front panel of the switch while
working on your PC.
2.
Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel
of your Tiger Switch. Connect power to the switch and verify that you
have a link by checking the front-panel LEDs. (See the Hardware
Description on page 2 for more information on the LEDs.)
3.
The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.2.10 and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. If your PC has a different IP address from the
switch but is on the same subnet (i.e. the PC and switch both have
addresses that start 192.168.2.x ) you can skip directly to step 4.
Otherwise, you must set your PC’s IP address manually. If you are
unfamiliar with this process, see “Changing a PC’s IP Address” on
page 7.
4.
Open your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.10. If
your PC is properly configured, you will see the login page of your
Tiger Switch. If you do not see the login page, please check your IP
address and repeat step 3.
5.
Enter the default password "smcadmin" and click on the Login
button.
