the pervious configuration.
We suggest using

like Firefox and Chrome are also alright.)
Step 1
Connect the PC to the switch. As default, the management IP of our switch is
192.168.0.1, so we must keep the PC’s IP in the subnet of 192.168.0.0 unless
you have changed it before. Set the IP address of your PC to
192.168.0.2-254
(eg.192.168.0.100), set subnet mask to
255.255.255.0.
