Initial Configuration
The Hewlett Packard Enterprise 1850 OfficeConnect Switch Series can be managed through a Web-browser
interface that you can access from any PC or workstation connected to the switch.
To access the Web interface, you must have the switch’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. In the factory default
configuration, the IP address is automatically acquired from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
service that is available on your network or from your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most routers provide
this service. The DHCP service automatically provides a network IP address configuration to devices that
request it, such as the Hewlett Packard Enterprise 1850 switches.
Many features are configurable on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise 1850 OfficeConnect Switch Series. Hewlett
Packard Enterprise recommends that at minimum, you configure a management password for switch security.
Follow these procedures to access the switch’s Web interface to perform the switch configuration:
1. Place the switch close to the PC that you will use for configuration. It helps if you can see the front panel
of the switch while working from your PC.
2. Connect power to the switch, and then start your PC (if it is not already running) and wait until the switch
and PC have finished their start-up sequences.
3. Connect the PC to any port on the switch using a standard Ethernet LAN cable. Verify that there is a link
between the switch and PC by checking the LEDs for the network port that you are using. (For more
information on LEDs, see “
LEDs ” on page 1-4.)
4. If the switch has access to a DHCP service, it automatically acquires an IP address. Determine the IP
address of the switch by examining the client IP address table on your router (see the router
documentation for how to get this information), or talk to your ISP representative to get the IP address of
the switch.
If a DHCP service is not available in your network, or for some reason the switch does not acquire an IP
address from the service, the switch defaults to IP address
192.168.1.1 after 120 seconds of
automatically attempting to acquire an IP address.
To communicate with the switch using the 192.168.1.1 address, see “ Using the IP Address ” on page 3-
2 before continuing these steps.
5. From the PC connected to the switch, open a Web-browser session and enter the switch’s IP address
as the URL. This opens the login screen for the switch’s Web browser interface from which you perform
the next steps.
6. Enter the default username “admin” and click Login to start a switch Web-browser interface session. By
default, there is no password.
7. To configure a password on the switch Web interface, click Maintenance > Password Manager and
enter the Current Password . Define a New Password and re-enter it in the Confirm New Password
field. Passwords can be up to 64 alphanumeric and special characters in length, and are case sensitive.
NOTE:
Alternatively, if you cannot determine the switch’s IP address, you can force it to use the 192.168.1.1
address by first disconnecting the switch from any router or internet connection and then unplugging and
reconnecting power to it.
