This chapter includes information on installations of the switch and basic configuration
procedures.
To make use of the management features of your switch, you must first configure it with an
IP address that is compatible with the network in which it is being installed. This should be
done before you permanently install the switch in the network.
Follow this procedure:
1. Place the switch close to the PC that you intend to use for configuration. It helps if you
can see the front panel of the switch while working on your PC.
2. Connect the Ethernet port of your PC to any port on the front panel of the switch. Connect
power to the switch and verify that you have a link by checking the front panel LEDs.
3. Check that your PC has an IP address on the same subnet as the switch. The default IP
address of the switch is
192.168.1.1
and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0.
. The PC
and switch are on the same subnet if they both have addresses starting with
192.168.1.x
.
If the PC and switch are not on the same subnet, you must manually set the PC’s IP
address to
192.168.1.x
(where “x” is any number from 2 to 254, except 1).
4. Open your web browser and enter the address http://
192.168.1.1
. If your PC is properly
configured, you will see the login page of the switch. If you do not see the login page,
repeat step 3 or refer to Appendix B.2
“Accessing the Web page”.
5. Enter
“
admin
” for the user name and password, and then click on the Login button.
6. From the menu, click System, and then IP. To request an address from a local DHCP
Server, mark the DHCP Client check box. To configure a static address, enter the new IP
Address, IP Mask, and other optional parameters for the switch, and then click on the
Save button.
If you need to configure an IPv6 address, select IPv6 from the System menu, and either
submit a request for an address from a local DHCPv6 server by marking the Auto
Configuration check box, or configure a static address by filling in the parameters for an
address, network prefix length, and gateway router.
No other configuration changes are required at this stage, but it is recommended that you
change the admini
strator’s password before logging out. To change the password, click
Security and then Users. Select “
admin
” from the User Configuration list, fill in the Password
fields, and then click Save.
