6 Preliminary setting
6.1 Resetting the switch to factory settings
Before start, set the switch to the default settings. To do this, press and hold the
DEFAULT button until the DEFAULT indicator lights up. The default IP address
of the switch is 192.168.0.1.
6.2 IP address setting
All software functions of the switch can be managed, configured and monitored
using the built-in web interface and Telnet. Below is the description of web-
based configuration. Configuration via Telnet (see the Configuration Manual).
The switch can be managed from remote stations at any point of the network
via a standard web browser (for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer). The
browser is a universal access tool and can directly access the switch using the
HTTP protocol.
Connect any switch port to an Ethernet network. Keep in mind that in case the
device is configured over a network the IP address of the management
workstation should belong to the same IP network. For example, if the default IP
address of the switch is 192.168.0.1, then the IP address of the workstation
should be 192.168.0.x (where x is a figure from 2 to 254); the default subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0.
Open the web browser and enter the IP address http://192.168.0.1.

you log in.
