Set up a fixed IP address for the switch by connecting directly to the switch off-network In the unlikely situation that the switch is not connected to a network, or for some reason you cannot connect to the switch over a network connection, you can change the IP address of the switch by using an Ethernet cable and making a direct connection to the switch. To disable the DHCP client of the switch and change the IP address of the switch to a fixed IP address by using a direct connection: 1. Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to an Ethernet port on the switch. 2. Change the IP address of your computer to be in the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch. The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. This means that you must change the IP address of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP address of the switch (192.168.0.x). The method to change the IP address on your computer depends on the operating system of your computer. 3. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the switch directly through an Ethernet cable. 4. Enter 192.168.0.239 as the IP address of the switch. The login page displays.

Set up a fixed IP address for the switch by connecting

directly to the switch off-network

In the unlikely situation that the switch is not connected to a network, or for some reason

you cannot connect to the switch over a network connection, you can change the IP

address of the switch by using an Ethernet cable and making a direct connection to the

switch.

To disable the DHCP client of the switch and change the IP address of the switch

to a fixed IP address by using a direct connection:

Connect an Ethernet cable from your computer to an Ethernet port on the switch.

Change the IP address of your computer to be in the same subnet as the default IP

address of the switch.

The default IP address of the switch is 192.168.0.239. This means that you must

change the IP address of the computer to be on the same subnet as the default IP

address of the switch (192.168.0.x).

The method to change the IP address on your computer depends on the operating

system of your computer.

Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the switch directly through

an Ethernet cable.

Enter

192.168.0.239

as the IP address of the switch.
