GS700TPS Smart Switch Step 7: Applying AC Power NETGEAR Smart Switch does not have an ON/OFF switch. The method of applying or removing AC power is by connecting or disconnecting the power cord. Before connecting the power cord, select a grounded 3-pronged AC source that is not controlled by a wall switch, which can turn off power to the switch. After selecting an appropriate AC source, use the following procedure to apply AC power. 1. Connect the female end of the supplied AC power adapter cable to the power receptacle on the back of the switch. 2. Connect the 3-pronged end of the AC power adapter cable to the 3-pronged AC source. When applying power, the Power LED on the switch's front panel is green. If the Power LED does light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is functioning correctly. If this does not resolve the problem, refer to Appendix A "Troubleshooting". Step 8: Managing the Switch via a Web Browser/PC Utility for Initial Configuration The NETGEAR Smart Switch contains software for viewing, changing, and monitoring the way it works. This management software is not required for the switch to work. You can use the ports without using the management software. However, the management software enables you to setup VLAN and Trunking features, and also improves the efficiency of the switch, which results in the improvement of its overall performance as well as the performance of the network. After powering up the switch for the first time, you can configure the Smart Switch using a Web browser or a utility program called Smart Wizard Discovery. For more information about managing the switch, see the Software Manual on the Smart Switch Resource CD. Note: When the device powers up, there is a default IP address already configured on the device. The default IP address is 192.168.0.239 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
