Connect Your Smart Switch in the Correct Order

These instructions assume you are using DHCP in your network. If you are using

static IP addressing in your network, configure the switch IP address before

connecting it to your network. In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch will

default to 192.168.0.239 for its IP address. To configure the switch before

connecting it to your network:

1.

Set up the PC with a Static IP address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, and connect

the PC to the switch. Then, use the Smart Control Center Utility to configure

the switch.

2.

Connect each PC to an RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.

Use category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable terminated with an

RJ-45 connector to make these connections.

3.

Connect the switch to your network.

4.

Power on the switch.

5.

Verify that the PC with the Smart Control Center Utility is on the same subnet

as the switch.

Utility

1.

Double-click the Smart Control Center Utility icon

on your desktop or in

Windows Start menu Programs to run the utility and view this screen.
