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

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.

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