Install the Switch

Prepare the site so that the mounting, access, power source, and environmental

requirements are met. If you have any questions about these requirements, see the

Hardware Installation Guide

for the FS752TP Smart Switch on your Resource CD.

Install the switch using one of the following methods:

•

On a flat surface: Put one of the rubber footpads that came with the switch on

each of the four concave spaces on the bottom of the switch.

•

In a rack: Use the rack-mount kit supplied with your switch to install the switch in

a 19-inch (48.3-centimeter) EIA standard equipment rack. Follow the installation

instructions included in the

Hardware Installation Guide.

Prepare the Administrative Computer

The administrative computer is the Windows-based system you use to perform the

initial switch setup and configuration. The administrative computer must have an

Ethernet adapter with a connection to the network and a CD drive.

Install the Smart Control Center Utility on the Computer

The NETGEAR Smart Control Center is a Windows-based application that

discovers NETGEAR Smart switches in your network and helps you to perform

management operations like firmware upgrades and IP address assignment.

To install the Smart Control Center utility on the administrative computer:

1.

Insert the Resource CD into your CD drive.

2.

Run the Setup program to install the Smart Control Center utility. The

Installation Wizard guides you through the installation.

Connect the Switch to the Network

If you use static IP addressing in your network, use the Smart Control Center utility

to configure a static IP address on the switch before connecting it to your network.

In the absence of a DHCP server, the switch uses a default IP address of

192.168.0.239 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

IMPORTANT!

The DHCP client on the switch is enabled by default. If you use

a DHCP server to provide the switch with an IP address, you

do not

need to configure the switch before connecting it to the

network.

To configure the switch with a static IP address before connecting it to your network:

1.

Configure a static IP address on the administrative PC in the 192.168.0.0/24

subnet, for example 192.168.0.1.

2.

Use a category 5 (Cat5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to connect the

Ethernet port on the PC to any front-panel RJ-45 port on the switch.

3.

Launch the Smart Control Center utility on the PC to discover the switch and

configure the appropriate static IP address for your network. For detailed

information about this step, see the online

FS752TP Smart Switch Software

Administration Manual

.

To connect the switch to the network:

1.

Connect each PC or other network device, such as a printer or server, to an

RJ-45 network port on the switch front panel.

Use Cat5 UTP cable terminated with an RJ-45 connector to make these

connections.

2.

Connect the switch to your network through a 1 Gbps uplink port.

3.

Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the switch and the other end to

an AC power source to power on the switch.

Discover the Switch with the Smart Control Center

Utility

To discover the FS752TP switch by using the Smart Control Center utility:

1.

Double-click the

Smart Control Center

icon

on your desktop or select

the application from the Windows Start menu Programs to run the utility.

2.

From the main Smart Control Center screen, click

Discover

to find your switch

in the network.

Make sure the switch has completed its boot cycle and is operational before you

click

Discover.
