Preparing for Access
IP Addressing
If the AMS-1816P is connected to a network with a 192.168.0.X/255.255.255.0
address scheme and your computer shares a similar address on the same
network, you can skip to the next step,
Access and Setup
.
n
Note:
If another device on your network shares the 192.168.0.4
address, you’ll need to temporarily reassign or remove that
device while you configure the AMS-1816P.
If your network uses an address scheme other than 192.168.0.X, you’ll need
to set a temporary static IP address on the computer you’re using for
configuration. To do so, set the IP address of your computer to an address
in the 192.168.0.X range, then set the Gateway/Router address to 192.168.0.4
(the default IP address of the AMS-1816P).
Once you’re finished configuring the switch, you can return your comput-
er’s IP configuration to normal, typically “Obtain Automatically/DHCP.”
