Access the Switch
Smart Managed Plus switches are plug-and-play so you do not need to configure
them. You can also configure and manage additional advanced features of the
switch either by using a computer’s web browser or by installing the ProSAFE
Plus Configuration Utility on a Windows-based computer.
Web Browser Access
You can configure a switch when it is connected only to your computer
(off-network), or connected to your computer and your network (on-network).
To use your web browser to configure your switch:
1.
If you are configuring the switch off-network, record your computer’s
TCP/IP configuration settings, and then configure the computer with a static
IP address of 192.168.0.210 and with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
If you are unsure how to do this, visit
netgear.com/support
and search for
Static IP address on computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter the IP address of the switch.
If the switch is connected to a network with a DHCP server (which usually is a
router), use the IP address that the DHCP server assigns to the switch. If the
switch is off-network or connected to a network without a DHCP server, use
the switch’s default IP address, http://192.168.0.239.
If you are unsure how to determine the IP address of the switch, you can use
the NETGEAR Insight mobile app, ProSAFE Plus Utility, or NETGEAR Switch
Discovery Tool.
3. Enter the password.
The default password is

.
4. Click the
Login
button.
You can now configure additional switch settings in the local browser
interface.
5.
When you finish configuring an off-network switch, return your computer to
its original TCP/IP settings and connect the switch to your network using an
Ethernet cable.
