Connecting to the Switch
After the switch is installed and powered, it can be configured by two methods:
■ Web based Graphical User Interface (GUI)
■ Command Line Interface (CLI)
Initial Switch Configuration Using a Web Browser
After powering up the switch for the first time, you can perform the initial switch configuration using a web browser.
To begin with the initial configuration stage, reconfigure your PC’s IP address and subnet mask to make sure the PC can communicate with the
switch. After changing PC’s IP address (for example, 10.10.10.250), then access the web interface of the switch using the switch’s default IP
address as shown below.
To initially configure the switch, complete the following steps.
1. Power up the PC that you will use for the initial configuration. Make sure the PC has the Ethernet RJ-45 connector to be connected to the
switch via standard Ethernet LAN cable. If the switch is connected to a DHCP server, skip to Step 3.
2. Reconfigure the PC’s IP address and subnet mask as below, so that it can communicate with the switch. For example, the method to
change the PC’s IP address for a PC running Windows® 7/8.x/10 is as follows:
a. Type
network and sharing
into the Search box in the Start Menu.
b. Select
Network and Sharing Center
.
c. Select
Change adapter settings
on the left of PC screen.
■ Right-click on your local adapter and select Properties.
■ In the Local Area Connection Properties menu, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Then, select the Properties button.
■ Select the radio button Use the following IP address and enter in the IP address for the PC (e.g., any IP address not in use, and in
between 10.10.10.2 and 10.10.10.254), subnet mask (e.g., 255.255.255.0).
■ Select OK to change the PC’s IP address.
3. Power up the switch to be initially configured, and wait until it has finished its start-up processes.
4. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet cable, and check the port LED on the switch to make sure the link
status of the PC is OK.
5. Run your web browser on the PC; enter either the DHCP-assigned or factory default IP address to access the switch’s web interface. If
your PC is configured correctly, you will see the login page of the switch requesting your username and password. In some browsers, the
information needed may be requested in a new window.
If you do not see the login page, perform the following steps:
a. Refresh the web page.
b. Check to see if there is an IP conflict issue.
c. Clean browser cookies and temporary Internet files.
NOTE
g
This product is intended for use with a Class 1 Laser module that complies with FDA 21 CFR 1040.10, 1040.11 and IEC 60825-1. For
continued compliance with the above standards, only approved Class 1 Laser modules from an ADTRAN approved vendor list (located on
the ADTRAN website) should be installed in this product. ADTRAN cannot certify system integrity with other laser modules. The CDRH
Laser Class emitted by the Fiber Optic Laser Module Component is Class I or 1 when installed in the end-product with the fiber-optic cable
removed.
NOTE
g
The factory default IP address of the switch is
10.10.10.1
and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
. If the switch is connected to a Dynamic
Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, the server assigns the switch an IP address and the default
10.10.10.1
IP address is not configured.
The DHCP server also assigns your PC the correct IP address to allow a connection on the same subnet as the switch.
NOTE
g
Users can also skip Steps 1-2, by pressing
R
and typing the
ncpa.cpl
command to get to Step 4 directly.
NOTE
g
Be sure to record all your PC’s current IP settings to be able to restore them later.
