6.1 Resetting the switch to factory settings
Before start, set the switch to default settings. To do this, press and hold the
DEFAULT button until the DEFAULT indicator is ON. 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. Note that if 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 number 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.

in.
